johnsmith Enthusiast Posts: 166 Kudos: 144 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-May-2004   | The tanks here look great. Could someone please check out Oliver Knott 4. I'm wondering what those thick "trunks" are & what type of statues can you put in a tank, e.g. porcelain? Is there a way to make any statuette safe? |
