    jp hair grass x2 $8
    rotalas plants sold $2

    Its related, talking about the lighting and filtration systems that all need electricity to power. As you guys know the bill just increase by another ridiculous 21%. For those who have hightech tanks or even many tanks at home will feel the pain first...

    Hi bro,

    Actually, are you sure you will not need again some of the things that you have sold earlier? Things like test kit, gex soil, sechem trace... looks like something you will need in the future as long as you are still keeping fish... and buying it again will make you lose more money....

    Warmest Regards from Merviso aka Merv Soh
