jn Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Keep us posted as it grows in! Hey.. if you're interested in a cheap backing option that you can cut to size you can buy some poster board (stiff poster paper) from whitcoulls or paper plus.. you get a pretty big sheet for just over $2 and it comes in a heap of colours. I'm using black stuff for the back of my bigger tank. I just have to be careful not to get it wet but on a small tank that should be easy. you can probably just tape it on or use blu-tack or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 It is coing to the collection time for oak leaves from Hagley park. They are the best I think. but should be used when the sap has retreated and they have been shed and dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
