Decorations From Zooplus?

[jmkgreen]

My new tank is 48x24x24 and the decorations sold locally appear more suitable for smaller tanks. eBay doesn't seem to have a great deal either.

One option is bogwood from TA Aquaculture but it's pricey and comes with a £8.50 delivery charge.

Zooplus appear to have a good selection of larger items and free delivery over £29 - but does anyone have some of their stuff, if so is it a good deal?

Stuff I'm looking at: Mangrove Artificial Root, Shale Rocks, Sand-Blasted Branch (instead of the Mangrove).

Advice appreciated!

ive never used them, but i would go for a known company offering free postage on heavy items,but wait a little while and im sure you`ll find lots of people that have used them
hope you get the decs you want

The postage cost is not the highest concern tbh, it's the quality of decoration.

I've been looking at The Green Machine and Aqua Essentials. You can view the actual pieces you wish to purchase but they seem more expensive than TA Aquaculture !

Yeah they're not exactly cheap are they? I spotted Charterhouse have a new live plants section this morning - they seem to rule when it comes to super expensive plants!

There are traders on ebay that do nano pack deals etc, you get like 5-6 nice lovely live plants and a nice random piece of bogwood with moss growing on it, lovely little pack, couple of those means you get a nice range of plants and bogwood, for about a 5er a pack

Plants aren't much of a problem - I got one of those "nano" deals a few years back off eBay it was fine.

I'm more interested in obtaining larger bits of bogwood / roots / slave / etc. Zooplus are the only site I've found with anything reasonable and I was hoping to hear of experiences.
