Musa Stem Pieces Back In Stock

Musa stem pieces, (Musa spientum), native to southeast Asia, have a cool, almost "bonelike" appearance and texture, and are quite strong. They make great little items for detailing among leaf litter and ideal for foraging areas for a variety of aquatic uses.

Thank you for my first two orders since taking over this week - it's very much appreciated 🍁🍂

They have just been packaged up and will be posted out today.

I will be packaging any orders up on a Thursday or Friday at the moment while Dakota is at preschool until I get used to doing them.

They should be with you in the next couple of days.

Thank you again

Blackwater UK is now taking orders again.

Unfortunately, I am currently having trouble putting everything across into my name, so we are only accepting PayPal payments currently.

Will be trying to get everything else moved across to myself over the next couple of weeks.

I will also be looking at getting more stock in soon.

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for your kind words regarding James and Blackwater UK over the past few days. They have really meant a lot to myself and our girls.

I have screen shotted them and have them for Dakota when she is older, so she knows how much her Dad meant to people.

Please note that River and I have discussed it, and we plan to keep Blackwater UK going. We may not be as knowledgeable as James was at the moment, but we are determined to learn as we go as it's important for us to want to keep his legacy going.

He was so passionate about Blackwater UK and the products he provided. Especially on the quality of the products, as he refused to sell anything, he wouldn't use himself in his tanks, so he always tested them first.

I used to love listening to him while he explained about the products he was getting in, and used to sit with him while he was going through sites after sites or emailing suppliers for the quality products and help with the stocking and careful packaging of the products to send out to you all.

I used to sit and watch while he set up his tanks and help when needed. He loved helping me learn how to start setting up a tank of my own.

He was currently putting the above tank together and always discussed his direction for the tanks, he was currently waiting for the wood to stop floating so he could remove the rocks, and then do some other bits, so my plan is to finish getting it set up for him.

Thank you all again! It would have meant the world to James to hear how much you all cared for him and the products/services he provided. ❤️

In a couple of weeks, once we get our heads around everything (We still haven't even heard back from the ME about how this could have happened to him), We will let you know more.

Best Wishes
Leah
