I know you're miles away but i have a converted jewel reckord 96 for sale currently.
Holds about 100 litres. Comes with nano skimmer, powerhead, light, heat, built in filter box. I can supply some salt and test kits etc too.
PM me if interested.

Ebay? Look for a nano. Also consider that she will need an RO unit for top up/refill water.

Hellesdon Barns? Atlantis aquatics? Swallow? All localish to you.

True. The local shop might sell it per litre, no? Mine did.

Yes, but i have tested RO from 2 NORWICH shops and both had TDS readings above 50 AND nitrates! (BTW the gt yarmouth one was A1 0ppm)

Always best to buy your own IMHO

Fair do's. I didn't have a TSD testing device thingy. I originally bought RO from my LFS, and I think they have a good one. Waterzoo in peterborough they are, always come out in the top 40 fish shops in PFK.

I then bought my own RO unit... which, in all honesty, though it was easier, was probably less good than Waterzoo's RO water.
