I agree they look sucks. LOL!!! that picture is almost 8 months old by now... The Current scape.. LOOKS WORSE! LOL!!!

Drew

It's the exact same scape...

How about this.. take a notice at the 2nd smallest far left rock.. The one enar the filter inlet.. An angled picture would show something else.. while a direct front picture shows another face of the rock..

Notice both is the same rock.. but How it compliments each other is a major key in scaping.. From the angled shot.. that particular rock looks buldgy .. Direct shot.. it looks like it is inline with the rockscape.

Sheesh how am I gonna put this in words..

Drew

lol.. catacombs is right.... you have stated the answer to your question yourself lol.

Drew

Lol, I'll jump on the quetion asking bandwagon..

Anybody wants 39w Hagen T5HO tubes??


Drew

The sand is SeaChem's Flourite Black Sand.. not a very economical way of purchasing soil.. but A deal with you is a deal..

I did mention before.. do not expect them to perform as well as the ADA counterparts... though they are 'cleaner' .. won't cause a spike to the nutrient levels if accidentally stirred like mad..

Still, even if you have ADA soil.. you still need to dose fertilizers to make your plants very happy..

Dry Dosing Brighty K or Step 1/2 if you're up to ADA line.. If SeaChem line.. NPK.. (3 bottles..- Nitrogen, Phosphorus(phosphate), Pottasium(K) )

I think you can get away with it also with lots and lots of those JBL fertz.. though i haven't tried them myself.. Yujin, any suggestions for him??

Just my 2 cents.

Seachem Pottasium
ADA Brighty K
Natural Aquatic Super K ( i think.) Not so sure what the LFS on the mainland bring in..

Drew

I believe it's shirakura i think..

and tenchi,

The shop at Bkt Jambul is known as advance reef a.k.a. Goay Ent.. they distribute SeaChem Products troughout Malaysia

A suggestion of any LFS on the Mainland(not the island) who bring in any pottash for our friend playerseeker would do lol.

Hope this helps,
Drew

@playerseeker, no need to hunt so hard. try telling me when you're coming over I'll arrange to meet you and you can get whatever you want.. I believe you have my phone number.

Drew

@ tenchi,
THis is the same to the both, Only if time permits LOL!

Drew

They're the same.. the difference is in the colour. Even if they do cross breed, the brood that comes from that would be 50/50 in colour.. 50% of the brood is red based.. the others is black... Of course the percentage isn't always 50%.. it depends on the strength of the dominant gene LOL...

Correct me if i'm wrong yujin, all the while I'm keeping reds.. so not much experience here.

@catacombs,

well, of course, it's the matter of preference. Just in case you get conned by any LFS... It is the CBS who existed first... then they do selective breeding to get red from it.

Drew

Altums.. thinking of trying them

Drew

the colour feels weird? then why you mix LOL!
Should be fine mixing them..

I think you got the sloping method alright.. thought the front is rather thick. but should be fine.

Something about those wood I dislike.. I'm not sure what

And good camera angle this time

Drew

I have a piece that cost rm 60+ LOL... not to say anything.. but cheap things not good good things not cheap.. Unless you go into the jungle or swamps to find your own nice piece of wood

Drew

Oh in case I forget.. Riccia is not like our everyday plants.. a bit like moss you can say.. it does not have roots. therefore you cannot plant it in the soil like any other plant..

And no, you don't NEED NET to plant.. you can use string also

Drew

I believe KW have an ampful stock for those.

Drew

@ catacombs,

for the root fertilizer.. I believe they all work.. though personally I am either using the ADA Iron bottom or Multi bottom, Seachem rootTabs.. But i believe the JBL or the Azoo ones in the market work well as well!( if you're on budget.)

Since your tank is not 100% Aquasoil ( I believe.. or is it.. coz i think i read that you have some holland sand in the bottom?? correct me if im wrong.) It is advisable to do this..

as for 100% ADA aquaoil user.. you can go without these root fertilizers for 6months to 1 year at least..!

Drew

Added on July 15, 2009, 10:18 pmThey give that extra 'boost' your plants need.. but know what you're doing.. if your sil is already highly fertilized.. no point adding it so early.. adding too much leads to an algae outbreak on the other hand LOL

Can add after a while.. first 2 months don't need yet kua.. I only add when I feel my plants not flaming up... If they're growing nicely, I avoid adding these..

Drew
