G'day mate... it's an Aloe of some sort, however beyond that I can't offer much advice. I have one very similar to the photo.

Looks a bit like Aloe ferox to me, but I'm no expert on them...

My money is on it being a young specimen of Aloe aculeata. If it is it can grow about a couple of feet and wide and tall in five years. My one is loving being in the ground.

Thanks guys
I just contacted the supplier and he believes it to be an Aloe aculeata.
