New Tanks

Does anyone know where to get good quality and inexpensive tanks in the north west? I am looking to buy a large tank at the end of the year about 1.5m long. Can anyone tell me where the best aquarium store is?

 

Just as an extra question..... does anyone know where to find a wide range of aquatic plants for the aforementioned tank. I want it to have quite a few plants but my LFS doesnt have a wide variety.

 

where in north west? plant you wont really find nice ones in the lfs. what type of plants do you want.

 

Hi @FishLover. Update your location to help us help you. Also, tell us a bit about your intentions, current setups etc (maybe introduce yourself in the new members section) :blink1:

 

I live near Rustenburg but can also get to Joburg. I would like something like cabomba and a few small plants that can be planted near rocks and in foreground, like small swords or anubias. IF you could tell me about any great aquarist shops near Rustenburg or JHB that would be great! Thanks, i will introduce myself in the new members section.

 

@FishLover, unfortunately, cabomba is a black listed plant. Here is a link to the current bl for future ref: http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/s...ter-Plant-Blacklist&highlight=Plant+blacklist

The good plants are mostly acquired through networking rather than shopping. Sometimes folk offer trimmings here, but you need to act quickly! Good luck!
