Floating aquarium plants (Hollingdean)
Received
Other than duck weed (no thanks!) I'd be grateful for any floating plants for my tank. I'm having a hell of a time trying to keep things going as my Amano shrimp (and to a lesser extent Red Cherries) are destroying anything I'm adding. I'm down to scraps and I need some more and healthier plants to start a production line in another tank. I've got in mind red root floater, salvinia or frogbit but if there's anything else going I'd love to grab some. Thanks.

I've actually got two like in the picture. Each holds 20 tapes. I think it can't be split into sections of 10 but I've never tried.

Aquarium plants (Hollingdean)
Expired
As in photos. I'm not sure what the names are. The ones you get might not be the ones pictured. I've got loads of the red leaf one, a bit of the green leaf one and can spare some of the floating one, but that's just a bonus offer so only small amounts of that going. The other two I'm going to chuck out soon. The red one grows like crazy, and is easily rooted from a small segment , from roots that grow all down the stem. The green one doesn't seem to care much about being rooted, I just held it down with a pebble - baby plants grow from its leaf tips which can be split off. The floater spreads fairly quickly in good light, and the roots are great hiding spots for fry, and help with water quality.

Our old freezer packed up. An AEG. The drawers are fine. 43cm wide. 3x 34cm deep, 1x 23cm deep. Freezer safe(!) so could be used in a chest freezer or just for other storage.

A bit tatty and a few "Heath Robinson" adaptations to make it work. But it works fine.

I've reduced the spread of plants in my small tank. I've got some of the red leaved plant and some of the floating ones spare if anyone wants some. Not sure of the names. The red one roots really easily, roots emerging from multiple points of the stem. The floaty one (the larger of them) reproduces quite fast but is easy to scoop off and control. It has hanging roots which you can see at the top of the picture. (There is ordinary pond duckweed in there too which I wasn't offering but you can have if you want). If you've got any other species of plant you can spare a bit of in return that would be great.

Laminate Floor 2mm Underlay (Hollingdean)
Gifted
Most of a pack of Wickes 2mm underlay, would have covered 15msq when new. Also got some leftovers of laminate flooring, suitable for a small area, or where you don't care about cobbling it together.

Laminate floor leftovers, click fit (Hollingdean)
Expired
Small area, photo shows three sections. The middle three panels are compeletely intact, and cover 1.3x58.5cm. The ones on the right are full width but have been cut at the end, covering 39x110cm. The two with masking tape have been cut to remove the click together detail on one side, and have been cut off at the bottom so there is one edge and the top in tact. The underlay in the second photo has now gone so it's just the flooring.

Aquarium plants (Hollingdean)
Expired
I'm just setting up a new fish tank and want to get it planted. I'm particularly hoping for plants that spread, so they fill in empty spaces and give it a natural random appearance. If you have anything like that which has spread too much and can be thinned out a bit, it would be great to grab some off you. Don't mind if they are short or tall, floating or rooted. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks

Rockwool insulation (Hollingdean)

I just need a small amount, maybe a carrier bag or two. Seems crazy to have to get a whole massive pack, so if you've got a bit spare/leftover, I'd be really grateful.
