I just bought my first aquarium, but wanted to know if this wiggle movement in the side panel is normal or not.

Hello, I finally took the plunge into aquariums and I bought a Landen 60s, it finally arrived today and I was just inspecting to make sure everything is okay. I noticed that the panels can wiggle a tiny bit and I was wondering if this was normal.

Since they are held up by just silicon I assume a bit of movement is okay...but I'm just a bit paranoid.

Thanks

Can I use the same potting mix for a closed terrarium, specifically for a Anoectochilus 'Red Clouds' ?

Hey guys, first time poster here. I recently bought some jewel orchids online for the first time so apologies if this is a silly question.

I read the potting mix thread on this subreddit and I was thinking of doing a 1:1:1 mix of sphagnum moss, perlite and orchiata barks. But I'm planning to place Anoectochilus 'Red Clouds'  in a closed terrarium and I was wondering if I can use the same mix or not. My plan was to have leca as the drainage layer, sphagnum moss as barrier layer then finally the potting mix.

Would love to know if the mentioned mix would work fine in a closed terrarium environment, if not I have the below materials and would love any suggestions for a ratio of a better mix.

Sphagnum moss
Orchiata bark 6-9mm
Coco Coir Chips 7-12mm
Chunky Perlite
Sphagnum peat moss

Thank you!

Is the marks on my new cirpo lens filter normal?

I just bought a new hoya hd nano mk II CIRPL filter and noticed it has this circular marks all over the lens filter. Looks like it's from wiping in a circular motion but it doesn't come off. Doesn't looks like a Newton ring too, but I could be wrong. Is this normal?
