Your tank is really coming along, I think you've made some great choices with the plants. With all the new additions, you might want to consider getting a bottle of Seachem flourish comprehensive to help them thrive. The driftwood adds a nice touch, and the duckweed is looking good on the surface.

I'm guessing Seachem flourish comprehensive is a fertiliser?
Would you recommend I get some for my tank, or do you think it's good to go as it is?

Yeah, that's a fertilizer, Seachem Flourish. If your tank's cycled, I think you're good to add the girls.

I'm so excited to finally stock my tank. I'll pick up some Seachem as soon as possible. I'm just wondering, should I continue gravel vacuuming? It's going to be a bit more challenging now that most of the tank floor is planted, but I don't want to compromise my water quality. I'll probably update again soon with a photo once I've attached the perspex to the back of the tank.

Vacuuming? Not a priority for me, to be honest. I've got Malayskento4 Trumpet snails, they're great at cleaning up the bits I miss. Just do the areas you can reach, don't stress about the rest. Those snails are also a great source of free live food for your girls. And keep an eye on the white one, they can be a bit feisty.
