I have been told about Green Machine, is it a web-based outlet only?
It is not a web based outlet, it is a (big) shop. The best one I have ever seen in the UK for the planted tank enthusiast.
Their display tanks are to die for. Anything and everything for the proper planted tank.
I visited there just before I set up my hi tech tank and to say I was impressed would be an understatement.
I arrived at about 11.30am and I was still there at 6pm
In all that time I had loads of questions and I was pointed in the direction of one Graeme Edwards. No question was too much trouble for him to answer and the bit that impressed me most was absolutely no 'in your face' sales pressure whatsoever.
I still spent a fortune in there, but it was certainly the most sound advice I had ever received from any 'aquatic' shop regarding plants. Truly impressive
. They even gave me a lift back to the train station with all my bags and boxes
.
Hospitality is second to none.
It is at this point I feel I should apologise to Graeme, as the poor bugger was in the middle of a 50% water change on an 1800l tank
, (Bones of the Earth had recently been set up), so I would have thought the last thing he needed was a newbie like me asking loads of questions
If it wasn't a 5 hour trek for me, I'd be in there every weekend
