Get excited and make something.

I remember that from PFK, it's got some very pretty fish but I do find it about gimmicky. No get excited from me today, not able to get to my computer with the book marks on so expect a bumper post on Monday.

Great link, Tom. Those tanks are available from Ikea for about £8 I almost got one the other day but talked myself out of it.
 
I don't think they are you know, all blown glass ( that's what the tropic and do aquaones are) are borosilicate and as such have quiet low levels of iron and are pretty clear they do however have slight variences in the panes meaning some distortion both Do! aqua and Tropica have this issue, it's just part of the blowing process.

Aside from the price I imagine there'd be very little in it, the cheaper ones I imagine will have more varience but that's it and you're more likely to find one that has very little if you root about, the rounded ones are pretty much perfect in Ikea and they have one that must be about 40cm wide at it's widest point which would be amazing for wabi kusa. Have a look on their site you'll find something that you'll like I'm sure.
 
The one in the photo is the smallest one, ugly genius over on the plant tank has something insane like 5 of them and the biggest one is noticibly much thicker than the one on that link.

There are bigger ones than that in store but not on their site.
 
and John lewis have 30cm goldfish bowls and large ones like the glass oval, both for under a tenner.
 
The best us of ug I suspect you'll ever see.

The worlds rarest aquatic moss. A fiver says if we got hold of some we could not only grow it but make a killing. ;)

very interesting, i'm about to start some experiements with growing scotttish mosses submerged. Some of the species ive collected look exactly like that.
 
Well thats a very interesting picture! Them tangs are lovely ( I think they are tangs anway :p)
