wow its look so GREENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN hehehe really nice hope after 2 and year later my tank also will look GREENNN also hehehe

wow...nice nice.....

:D

playerseeker would probably say :"eye washing? u fake gal, bring other gal for me to wash my eye first..."

I wonder why my DIY CO2 can only last for 3-4 days.. really troublesome if I have to keep on make again and again.. btw, how much does one CO2 tank cost? and usually can last how long? my tank is only 2feet...

bro u can try to buy the 2nd hand co2 last time i baught it around rm200 will all the stuff

1) brand new 2L roughly cost you RM180~220, depends on the lfs...
2) then you have to buy the regulator
a) manual - RM60 (estimate)
b) solenoid - RM250 (estimate)
3) Diffuser/reactor
4) check valve
5) buble counter

ah...dem!!...yea man....fake gal!!...ahhaah...i need real gal like adela!!!!

but i did think meowmeow can turn out like adela tho...before i asked the magic question and get pawned!! hahahaha

maybe the water u use too hot or something?? coz mine lasted around 2 weeks plus eh.....

wow, quite pricey rite... no $$ already...
playerseeker, what is your measurement for DIY CO2? how many cups of sugar and yeast?
Mine I use about 1 full cup of sugar and then half teaspoon of yeast....
for DIY CO2 rite, is it sufficient enough to plant grass? cause my grass started to yellow again... sigh.keep on fail...

erm..just sharing here sis,

last time when i use DIY co2... each bottle will use 2 cup of sugar + 3/4 teaspoon of yeast. for me, this measurement will last me for about 1 week (by day 6th or 7th, the bubble start slow..so it;s time to make new). i us 2x1.5l coke bottle for every tank. the bubble rate come out is about 2-3bps as using pressurized co2.

the thing about diy co2, the more sugar you put and the less yeast you pour, the longer period of it will bubbling but at the same time, slower/lesser bubbles. just think of it like this for easy metaphore, yeast will eat the sugar and produce co2. so more yeast, more co2 will comeout because so many yeast eating at one time and so produced more co2. but more yeast + more co2, they need more sugar also.. if less sugar, they eat so fast and finish liao. so no more co2 when they have nothing to eat.


anyway, some others have experienced longer period but the basic math is just like that. find tune yourself for the best result that your tank needed (like how much co2 bubbles you need and how long your diy will lasts). just keep doing it and you;ll find the exact measurement for your tank. don;t always follow others in everything because your tank isnt same. use the measurement people give to calculate and make your own to suit your tank. heh...at least you have something to enjoy in this hobby to experiment with rite for starting

tq tq for the compliments. actually if u look at the date of the photos...it took only 2 - 3 months become the 3rd picture. hehe that's the wonder of CO2.

totally agree with usermode...

it's depends and u adjust it to ur liking...

like my nano tank....i dun need very high amount of CO2..so slow bubbles is okay for me......

my ingredient will be 1 pack of 500g caster sugar, half teaspoon of yeast and also baking soda.....fill half of the bottle with warm water...i used my house bathroom's heater water...then shake it well....after that continue to fill it to almost full.... ....

chuppy chuppy chuppy......how how how???my hand gatai d........

Woi anyone want to sell crs here?get poison d!!!

Hi guys, Im new to aquascaping, hope to learn some tips from the sifus here

I just recently bought some C02 pills, RM9 a box. Is this effective enough? Or should I invest into a proper C02 system?

Im from Penang btw, and normally i go to CTY and Fishop to buy my stuff.

o_O another penangite haha

co2 might not be necessary depends to the types of plant

on the other hand, co2 make wonders for plants like hc, glosso...etc

you can try diy co2...as we got many co2 diy sifu here

FYI, CO2 is necessary for every plant....
just that some low maintenance plants can cope with the CO2 that inside the water(minimum content), but they will not grow nice....
even for those low maintenance plants, with or without CO2 u also can see the drastic change....

1) the DIY CO2, the purity of the CO2 compared with the pressurize tank, of course kalah la....
2) each time u prepare the so called sugar water and yeast, how much u spend? and how often u need to prepare again? 2L of CO2 tank, with 2bps, solenoid regulator cost you ~RM450, but can tahan for 4~6months, and each refill cost around RM30. long term wise, is more cost effective... and also bare in mind that u do not have to prepare the solution (sugar water) every week or so....
3) since i saw ur location is in damansara, u can try the lfs below;

AquaWorld aquatic center
D 008 Jalan PJU 10/3,
Damansara Damai,
47830 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor, Malaysia.

the owner is expert in planted tank, and very frendly ppl....
if u need his contact number, do pm me...

i nvr tried but so far i heard the feedback from user
better go for proper CO2 system. worth to invest(long term)
