Tis' a shame really.

Thanks for replying, here, and there :) The tank size was worrying me too - "It's a four footer mate". And the fact that he really is underestimating the teeth problem. "I'll put some shells in ther too" < I don't see how that will help at all really. Thanks again, I'll update yo...

Thanks Everyone
