    Hi,

    Where is the best place in Cape Town to shop for driftwood, rocks and other aquarium decor?
    Do any of the sponsors in Cape Town stock these?

    Tx.

    I'll be there early in Jan!

    Yes, I bought his tank, but I am only collecting it in Jan. Tank had no decor in, only some pipes for the Plecos.
    Some plants in the sump, and one in the tank that took a beating from the Oscars.
    Maybe he'll surprise me with more decor when I collect the tank. :santaclaus:

    I'm following in his footsteps in terms of Waterzoo support (as you have gathered from all my emails asking all kinds of questions!).

    I also have a bad case of early onset MTS. I bought the bigger tank, but since it is already occupied by Oscars who I absolutely love, it is not a safe neighbourhood for the fish I wanted to move to a bigger tank, so I already invested in a 380l as well (also collecting it early in Jan). This one will hopefully be a planted tank and I am looking for "natural" decor (plants, and "rock-like" stuff for caves).
    The existing 150l will also get a substrate change early in Jan.

    @Altum - Thx for all the support thusfar and looking forward to meeting you in Jan.
