Yeah, the pump in getting is around 250lph. A lot lower than I would like but I'll see how it goes.

That should actually be okay I think. Could maybe have done with slightly more, but not to much. The aim with a bog/wasteland type filter where your relying on gravel and plants is different to usual aquarium formation. The high flow rates we usually want with our canisters and the rest would actually be more damaging to the filtration and make it less efficient. I think it will work out quite well.

Just don't let the water freeze and blow out the glass.

It already froze over winter, still holding water and the front glass must be 3/8 inch thick lol

I'm not sure I'd let it do that again, regardless.
