(if you live nearby to them, you may be able to try the...

    Osaka 320 - Jungle *WIP*

    I'll get you a pic taken tonight beeky! Vallis flowers start with a straight stem that the turns into a spiral over a few days and the flower at the tip is the smallest white flower you'll ever see. :) I'm going to trim the plants up tomorrow as the hygro's getting out of control as per normal.

    Itchy arm

    Hi, Odd question this, bear with me! Does anyone else's arm go red and itchy after spending some time dipped in tank water? I'm thinking I may have some sort of alergy to whatever is in the water if no one else get's it.. Odd post I know! Phil

    Eco-Complete problem

    I've been looking at the bags and the diference in colours in mine doesn't seem as bad as the pic posted earlier in the thread, I really want to get this tank set up so i'll probably just go with it and maybe mix some standard fine black gravel in there as well :)
