Welcome back Ian. Sorry to hear of your problems. Me and the Mrs. have just tested clear of covid after a horrible 10 days. Managed to avoid it all this time but I went shopping and had forgotten my mask, my bad. Anyway your tank looks as good as ever, best wishes pal.

Re: 440ltr cube

Re: Aquatic wood from nature

If you can try and visit a branch of the Range. Large bogwood or mopani for £15 small for £5. I think it would be safer than getting wild wood.

See my thread Could this be a bargain.
