that rotala makes such a differance. I think its the finer leaves that give the tank a proffessional look.

thats top notch mate.

For anyone out there, its far harder to grow plants in a 40L tank that it is in a 400L.

Looks really good - how do you find rock like that? Is it just LFS?

they got some stuff on their website. (TMC)
AE also sell it, but they just picture the box and another slightly confusing picture.
i think it will be good, better than a kick in the teeth!
im well happy!
