The water is settling and cleared nicely. A slight scum cleared off the surface - stones mustn't have been clean enough. But the insides of the glass of the new tank are covered in millions of tiny bubbles. Set the lighting tubes to come on for 2 hours per day.
10 plants went in at lunch time and a further 9 litres of water to fill it up to the maximum mark. Rearranged the ornaments slightly (some rock type structures). Heater is on minimum at first, increased to 22c as it warmed up.
Found two snails in the tank later in the day - I forgot to wash the plants! Looked them up and they appear to be harmless - possibly Malaysian Twist Snails, which only eat dead matter.
Thermometer is showing a steady 22c after the heater being on for under 8 hours.
