I've just picked up the same tank £30 ex display with light! Just a heads up the S2Pro dimmer works with this light if you need to dim the light a little, if you were thinking of going low tech!

I've got the same dimmer waiting to try on it so that's good news @Dan OB ! Managed to pick mine up 2nd hand but brand new in box so couldn't resist, it's a nice wee tank and light combo, got an eheim liberty 75 HOB on order and it'll be co2 no matter how much light I use
What you planning for yours?

I'm thinking a cherry shrimp tank, but not 100% sure just yet! I might do co2 aswell. I will endeavour to put up a journal aswell. What kind of co2 set up are you thinking of using on this?

Absolutely stunning Apisto, beautiful colouring. They have always interested me but I worry about my shrimp population

First week they didn't bother the shrimp, yesterday I caught 2 of them hunting and eating one of the biggest ones, I think my population of 100+ will slowly fall from now on...
But they are soo worth it
Should also note lighting is now up to 45% for the last few days and this is when I've started seeing a bit more rock colouring, determined to push past and up intensity a bit more for rotala colouring (dangerous game as always) so will be done slowly over the next few weeks
While tank is growing in and coloring up I don't see any reason as to why not run light at 100%. Keep a lean dosing, no more than 8 hours of photoperiod and 2x 50% WC until week 8. Never failed me
you'll have fast colorful growth in no timeThanks @Shinobi, while I'm enjoying the maintenance at present and it's not a chore I'm not sure I'd say the same with the growth at 100% 
But I have been keeping an eye on yours and others lean losing and once my arms are a bit better so to speak, I think I'll end up at least trying and seeing how I get on with it as well, all part of the learning curve
What is your own experience and opinion between ada and tropica fert dosing?

Tropica is the easiest, cheapest and most convenient - all in one, I also find this better for mosses.
ADA is better for individual control and fert parameters, especially if you are going to try to limit No3 to improve on coloration of some red plants. Note that for ADA you'll need 2-3 different bottles of fertilizer.

Have you ever considered Ei for dosing? I'm thinking it might be a good idea.
