I Actually found one out in the shed that I bought in an auction a while back.... still in it's box :-) Just never got round to using it I guess :-/

i just brought 1 off ebay changed the sand to normal river sand i will have to adjust the flow a bit, im using my canister filter to power it i mite have to put a powerhead on to make it work better otherwise is working fine . i also had to change the outflow to stir the water surface some more as it used a lot o oxygen with all that bacteria and my fish wernt happy next morning. customs also tested the sand 4 drugs lol

spoon, i have pm'd you
