Hi FancyShrimp

I enjoyed the videos, as a beginner it's not always easy to read and fully understand some of the steps in setting up a tank. If there is anyone else that have videos posted please send me the links. Having said that, I think this tank setup is awesome and I cant wait to see how the co2 system is hooked up.

 

Glad you like it.

 

New video is up online!

 

Hi Fancyshrimp

Once again a good, informative video. I would like to try buying some of the equipment from co2 art, however I'm in South Africa so I'm not sure if they ship to South Africa or is there another supplier based in South Africa that I can try?

 

Don't know to be honest. The guys here will know though. Just finished setting everything up. Hopefully the video will be online tonight otherwise tomorrow

 

New video: how to install the Co2 system just uploaded

 

@Cipher: They don't import but you can buy some of there products from e-bay and they do ship to South Africa. items in CO2-ART store on eBay!

 

Im sure someone in SA must stock these?

 

@FancyShrimp: Not the exact brand, no.

 

The bazooka stuff is really good! Intense is the brand.

 

@FancyShrimp: Yeah, some of the brands look really nice.But we wont see them here because some importers have a hold on the market here on what products get imported.

 

Import yourself and sell. Don't see why you cant

 

@FancyShrimp: Mostly due to costs and the fact that hitech planted tanks have yet to take off the way it has in the UK and other places. It is very expensive over here so not many people can buy into it.

 

When I was in SA I aimed to change those sorts of things. You are screwed by a system which does not allow one manufacturer or shop to say its better than another and thats the problem. There is NO price wars as everything is... meh, we can charge this guy R2000 because no one will ever know someone else is cheaper and better. I feel very sad for the consumers buying power in SA...
