    I'm curious as to what is available there? And do any online SA places ship anything there? Like McMerwe, Shrimpstop, Aqua Empire, etc?
    Have a couple mates from there but none in the hobby.

    Hi Cale, not sure I havent been in the game in ages that's why I started this thread again wanna see what's out there and if I get lucky. What there is is very expensive and I want my own custom built 300L.
    So as soon as the lock down allows I'm going to glass places to get quotes. Wish me luck ...

    I'd go thicker for safety. I'd much rather spend more on glass then a new floor

    I just recently moved to Windhoek Namibia and am looking to connect with others in my area and perhapa any local forums for local fishkeepers. Brought my Fishtanks with to Namibia and really want some solid advice on where to purchase heaters, plants, food, bloodworms, fresh water angel fish and snails to get my community going again. Any suggestions? Local petshops are scarce here and google is not very helpful.
