    Hi OF

    I tink with all the effort you have made, give the 5ft another go - we live and learn. I am sure this time it will turn out gr8.

    All for it - whats better than 2 planted tanks :)

    Regards

    thanks :),i have big plans for the moss and staurogyne.lucky me the place that refills is near me in jeppestown though should be a while before i need to refill as the bottle is 7kg should last me a while on the 3 foot.

    Gr8. if you have a chance, send me the details cos I can go fill mine during working hours. Not sure if I can fit a 7kg in my 5ft tank cabinet. Have u tried to fit urs in there cos I dont mind getting a bigger bottle as some point?
