sifoos and taikors... newbie here got a few questions wanna ask... can ah??..

now i got a running 1.5ft tank in my room... and soon to have 2ft tank (after i clean up the silicon).... gonna use 1 for normal planted and fish tank while another mainly for shrimps....

which should i go for shrimp tank??.. i've considered a few options...

1.5ft is smaller, hence can locate my shrimps easier.... and it is up and running... i dont need to take 3-4weeks to run in the tank before start having shrimps inside.... but the problem is unstable water parameter compare to larger 2ft tank...

2ft tank i gonna start a new... new ADA soil (most probably)... new scape and so on... will need time to run in the tank before having shrimps inside...

in the mean time i'm considering having 1.5ft as shrimps only tank and 2ft for fish tank as it has larger room for more community fish... but i'm gonna locate my 1.5ft tank in room with water temp 29oC at highest temp... afraid my shrimps wont make it.... i already had fan running for this tank...

2ft tank gonna put in living room... which i believe much cooler environment compare to my room... 2ft tank will have more stable/lower water temp...
which should i choose??... 1.5ft for shrimp or fish??...

tank location is fixed as 2ft cant fit inside my room and the 1.5ft has no extra space outside the living room...

I agree with playerseeker here, if you're serious with CRS, then go for the 2feeter, less headaches smile.gif

And if you're just for shrimp and low tech plants .. 55w is nice.

IMHO, 2ft is better....
what you plan to put inside, plants of course...
if just merely low tech plant (meaning not high requirement plants), just put 20~30W of lighting is enough..
don listen to chupps...
adding 55W is ready for glosso type of plants liao....

FYI, adding more W of light increase the temp also...

from your thought, which plant more easier? glosso or HC. in term of caring, temp, CO2 and lighting.
*
i nvr tried HC...
but anyhow i will say is glosso...
still remember my previous scape, they grow like nobody business...
BUT...
dun be lazy when planting them... possible, 2~3 leaves per cucuk (dunno what to call)...
and the distance from each other, ~2cm....

very easy to set up..
but before u jump into it....
check few things....

1) connector to power head, let water flow, see got leaking onot...
2) connect to power supply (power head still connected), set the temperature, and see the result...
3) previous owner use it for? fresh water or salt?
let the chiller run with the power head for 1 day....

oooooooo lidat is this chiller support for my 3 feet tank bro?coz like i said some ppl say if 3 feet its depend on the water volume....but so far my temp decrease to 25'c now...and some more do i need to remove my d.i.y fan?
*
no need put fan la....

FYI, to decrease to 25C is easier than decrease it to 24C....
the chiller tend to kick start more often, and longer....
so is adviseable to change it to 25C...
actully 25C the plant very happy liao...

basically there are few experiences that i would like to share...

remember the taiwan moss?
previously before i manage to tie them using lava rock, i kept them inside peti sejuk...
when i tie them, in 1 day, all of them become brown, but the result?
heck, they now growing bushy...


tie moss? not necessary to tie them inside water, just remember to kept them wet during that...
u can sprinkle water on it...

yes, like yu jin said, sprinkle water on it from time to time when you;re tying moss. that's what i did most of the time whenever i tying, seperating before planting, etc...

i did that for all plants evne glosso, HC, HG...everything tongue.gif just take water spray bottle and keep spraying them. dont let them dried out.

yeap, this method applied to all, not only for moss...
keep the plant wet.. i mean wet.... anyone wanna get wet???wuahahaha

i'm not expert, but from what i can see...

1) no injury seems from fighting....
2)the pale color on back part of the body, isit lighting, or real situation?
i think might be something happen during water change...
