    Hi guys.

    Are their any aqua scapers that operate in the Durban area? I have a juwel vision 450 it’s a 1.5 m tank in an office environment and really want to go the planted root. I want to get this right the first time round. Good substrate, plants, drift wood and more. Any ideas?

    @dash, are you looking for someone to help you or are you looking to employ someone to do it for you?

    Hi guys.
    Does any one have some drift wood and java moss that I can get a hold off or do you know where I can get this from in Durban. Some of our local aquarium shops just don’t have at the moment.

    Hey Dash. If you've got anyone coming to Pretoria soon, I've got a few pieces of Mopane wood you can have, to big to post though. You'll have to try get somebody to fetch it. I'll post some photo's when I get home tonight! The one big piece has been soaking for about three months. The rest haven't been soaked yet.
