Interesting. I figured they were fibbing as we do a lot of export at work and I'm pretty sure in the 10 mins from when I emailed asking where it was, that no way they could of even got through to parcelforce,let alone get an admission that the parcel is lost and agree to refund me that quickly.

I had to go to pets at home for dog stuff yesterday and had a look at what they had because of this thread. Their stuff is largely aimed at kids so super tacky but I'm tempted to try something with minimal coral or seaweed finishes. A plain coloured battleship and covered in moss and Anubias could look good.

Well I bought one yesterday, had a massive change around. I'm unsure on it yet. Bought on a whim as in maidenhead aquatics they have medium, large and huge, I asked how much for the huge one was and the spotty 18 year old said £35. I've seen it online at a lot more than that for this size,so can only think he quoted the wrong price , so I bought it there and then!

Sounds like the online purchase being cancelled was meant to be Paul mate.

Yeah, bit of a touch really. I'll do the pictures tonight as getting them in the day with daylight is a nightmare!

Tried to get pics without glare etc. That's the ship, the cave for the breeding convict/polar and the driftwood the other end
