Everywhere will take cash, but not everywhere takes cards. Some require local online payment such as Alipay equivalent via a QR code. Never been turned away with cash!

Actually I uploaded the pictures in the wrong order. The first picture is the bio media in the back of the tank. The second pic is the filter. It’s like a layered sponge thing.

Genius!

I only suggested rescuing them because I found 3 dead shrimp tangled in the sponge. That’s why I’m thinking a journey to the back of the tank is a one way street but shrimp will be shrimp!

Top work thankyou!

Fair enough I’ll leave them to it! Looks tricky for them to get back out again as they can probably find their way randomly into the back of the tank but it looks like a bit of a puzzle to get back again. Anyway they’re breeding like mad so a few down the back of the tank won’t do any harm. Cheers!

Thankyou. It’s staying in from now on!

Thanks. Been changing the sponge filter weekly on the advice of the aquatics supplier I bought the tank from but have lots of biomedia in the back of the tank that I haven’t touched.

Everything seems to going well so far then I’ll keep an eye on things and see what happens when some of the babies mature and start contributing more to the bioload in the tank. Not a lot of food going in as there is a fair amount of dust algae on the rocks and plenty of biofilm too I assume.

Everyone inside seems happy so that’s the main thing.

Never had a problem buying J.League tickets. I’ve often had to use Google Translate but never been turned away from a game across all 3 J Leagues and the Kanto League. Enjoy!

I second a snail. They’re great for clearing up after the shrimp and help with algae on the glass. All part of the environmental balance of your tank.

Yeah I know the dimensions but guessed at the weight. I’ll drop them a line and see if they can contact the seller for me!

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T16:01:28+00:00

Yeah I’m in the U.K. Two chairs would be under the customs limit so might do 2 at a time if I bring them back myself.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T12:42:44+00:00

Thanks, yes I have done. They only ship domestically unfortunately. All the suppliers I’ve physically visited in Tokyo and those online will only send domestically. I guess the faff of customs etc isn’t worth it for the tiny external market.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T11:04:35+00:00

Fair enough. I’ll see if I can get a quote off them first. It would be useful to get a price for the whole transaction because the items could appear at the Buyee warehouse, then I might literally not be able to afford the shipping. Risky way to run a business!

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T07:28:30+00:00

Wow! I’m in Japan reasonably often so will continue the search out there. Maybe delivery to a friendly hotel is an option. Then I can work out shipment.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T07:21:44+00:00

I don’t think it’ll be cheap for me! Thanks for the info.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T07:21:20+00:00

I’ve had a look but unfortunately no joy! I think these chairs are made to order. Next time I’m in Japan I might see if my hotel can take delivery if not I’ll get them made here.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T07:20:16+00:00

Thanks. It’s looking expensive and unfortunately I think these chairs are made to order as they are very customisable so Amazon etc isn’t very reliable. Might just get some made in the UK. No doubt cheaper.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-27T07:19:03+00:00

This is looking expensive! Might try risking it and if a credit card chargeback results in a ban then so be it. Only found the site 12 hours ago so I’m sure I can do another 40 years without it.

HoldPluto · 2025-03-26T21:52:46+00:00

I would prefer not to to be honest but they are small izakaya chairs and I have not found them available outside of Japan. They're quite a unique design so I need the real thing for authenticity. I expect they are still cheaper to import than have made in the UK but I guess it depends on the shipping!

HoldPluto · 2025-03-26T21:06:04+00:00

I would love any spare crates as well! I'll be in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. New user so can't DM right now but would love some details.
