Any Aussies out there know where i can source some oak leaves or the like to darken up the water and make the tank look nice and genuine? Cheers, Ben

They do show up on gumtree etc from time to time, but most are originally coming through this fellow If you know anyone in FNQ apparently they use the indian almond trees as street trees so you can get someone to post you down the fallen leaves from there Oak trees seem to pop up in schools and parks.
