Yes, Yes.  When I originally posted the request, I wanted to know if 
anyone knows WHERE in Australia Dupla's laterite comes from?

Somebody mentioned near Perth - or North Queensland.  Either way, I was 
wondering if we could buy some off someone for a whole lot less than Dupla
sell it for...

Markus, I think the general consensus is that Triton tubes are best (or at
least a combination that contains at least one).  
I din't know where you are, but a 3ft fresh water Triton costs $44.95 up 
here,
and a 4ft is slightly more
