Looks good!

Just a piece of advice for you. Don't set up your tank at a temporary location and shift it later once you're done. The shifting might cause the tank to crack. Also, I cringed at the sight of seeing 2 pieces of styrofoam boards supporting just the middle section of the tank. This setup method is wrong as it puts the entire tank's weight on just that particular section. What you should have done is to have the tank already setup on a flat surface cranked up by however many pieces of styrofoam boards/plywood that fits the tank's dimensions (larger is fine, only not smaller).

Don't worry, we all learn as we go along and the main thing was that your tank survived that episode.

My tank size is 2ft x 23cm Wide and 30cm H . Maybe you can try search for your dw,stone for your scape and fix your scape then
you can start planning what plant to plant at which spot and area (:

Good work. Hurry up and use back your pressurize CO2, those tablets helps? I doubt so

Use DIY co2 better as standby.
You can get to smell the "power" when your co2 tank come back and decom the DIY co2.

It does not cost much (less then $5 excluding normal diffuser) and can experience. But it can only power low pressure diffuser.
