    is that the 1400lph pump? if so you can get the 2000lph edition think the HW404B or so for the same price. the smaller one goes for R1100

    Just a note on the pfp. Remember to let it soak for a day before adding it to the tank.

    warm water and the nutrifeed and then let it soak like @Firefly said... make sure you cap it properly otherwise you will have some serious tannin leaching

    I would rather lay down the PFP and then the Tetra substrate and cap it. Try and get an even level across the surface of the PFP and then cap it.
