yeah, anything that weighs a lot normally is not economical to ship internationally unless you go surface mail - and that takes months.
should have a few things arriving for the tank in the next week or so - light is local, heaters are coming from Hong Kong (can get 2 titanium heaters with external controls for less than the price of one local purchase, and that includes shipping from HK - and I need 2 heaters because of the fake rock backdrop in tank prevents anything being put on the back glass)
Will have a look for it though I haven't seen it in my local stores. I have just bought some Aquaclay ground for the 2 foot tank I am also starting up. It makes the water cloudy in spite of prior rinsing and some of it floats.... It's a nice red though.
If you're interested, I can give you the contact information of the official distributor of ADA goods in Australia? I'll post here as soon as I get it.
I have looked for the ADA stuff, again no-one local supplies it and am looking at around $13 shipping per bag to get anything shipped :-( Looks like I'll have to wait for my LFS to get in the eco. I can get plain gravel in bulk at all 3 of my decent LFS but only one store sells plant substrate (eco, dupla ground and aquaclay)
Will wait till the 25th until my store gets the eco in and grab half a dozen bags.
