HI I did start a thread for folks to list how much sub they used in their tanks, but it didnt really get going :( Feel free to add to it here though : :D http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6256 Tony

Thanks for taking the time to write that up Mark - most useful :D I've got AS Malaya in the new tank (1st time I've used it) and so far its OK, but it did cloud up last week when I had to rescape it, and that was after 1 week in the tank. I've a bag of NS waiting to be used, so I might stick...
