My new Waterbox 20gallon is now up and running...

Well the waterbox 15 which I have has a center compartment of 160mm X 80mm. So @Harbinger2000 is probably correct.
There are three chambers in the back. The total of all 3 make up the width of 400mm in my case. I can pm you a drawing if you want, from actual measurements.

Update on the tank...

Nitrites @ zero
Ammonia @ close to zero

We are heading in the right direction, water is crystal clear,

One thing I’m thinking of is swapping out the filter sock, I think the type of filter sock it came with is a bit to restrictive in allowing water flow through, so I’m considering a mod in this compartment:

Options:
1)try and find a small filter sock that is better micron size and that fits in that compartment and allows more flow
2) use a stocking
3) good old filter floss, apparently this works like a charm, and is dirt cheap

Would be keen to hear your guys take on this...

Nice plan @Mr_Armani777 Like the idea of a full mushroom tank. Cant wait to see the progress. My cube 15 basically has a ton of gsp only. Haven't been giving it much attention.
I recommend a filter sock with a lower micron size, this will allow more flow. I know where you can get such filter socks, as I too have found the high micron level of the standard water box sock to be a bit restrictive. Hit me a PM and I can assist.
 
Hi @Keagan01 updates...

So I have collected a few rics and mushrooms, and couriered some down from CPT, still haven’t over populated the tank and scape. Decide on a small rock of gsp an island on its own and some long variety brown gsp on a island of its own, just to give some movement...

Still undecided on a particular type of fish or if I want to have any...,

My wife says I should add some more movement into the tank, but I just want shrooms pics... will need to take some...
 
Cool. Yeah GSP are great for movement. Also if you want movement and are into mushrooms. Consider some Green Hairy Mushrooms. They give some nice movements in medium/low flow. Keen to see some pics.:m106:
