Looking good and good to hear the fish are all doing well.
Perhaps you can put a plant request here or in the advert section? Someone might be able to post you some spares...

Tbh I think if the tank was brand new you wouldn't have any problems with leaks but really I've only spent a few quid on some silicon I'd like to replace some of the pipework eventually but it's a bit difficult ow the tank is full.
The WiFi sockets work perfectly, timer for the lights and the wave makers and if I have wet hands when I'm feeding/doing a water change I can just say "ok Google turn the pump off" to my Sonos speaker

Out of curiosity I did look at the prices for the ones I have and they are north of £200 for 4 of them and the controller! Not bad for a £50 tank! Might try and sell them to pay for something a bit less powerful

completly slipped my mind.
How about one or two of these, small , relatively low flow (but still some flow) and cheap (had one in Fireplace for a bit then moved it behind the foam in Castle just to help move water around through the back area

Anyway, about £50 with a controller, Flow Rate - Adjustable from 500 up to 2,500 litres per hour

Just to update, for some reason spending this much time at home I have found myself paying less attention to the tank. Still doing the weekly water changes etc.
I guess it was more something I did after work sit there watching my tank to de-stress a bit. Everything has been going fine until today I found a dead gourami... Only 2 left now, water was changed yesterday and water showing 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 20ish nitrate. Tested as soon as I got the gourami out.
Some reason they just don't seem to last great in my tank... However I just did a head count after removing the gourami and realised I can only count 6 rummy noses instead of the 8 there should be, no sign of them anywhere. Not sure what's happened or when there was less than 8 tbh as I haven't been counting them as much lately as everything seemed pretty stable so they might have been missing for a week honestly
