Bro, that's not double c02 diffusion.. the bigger one is the c02 diffuser.. the smaller one is for air pump ( Oxygen diffuser )

Yes overdosing excel kills bba.. increasing c02 levels help too!

Well I did it. I set up my nano tank today..Its done..and its fugly hahahahaha

user posted image

I have no idea what I was doing  tongue.gif
I hate the background...planning to redo it later...with just crypts..
The temperature is quite high 30c even with fan... sad.gif
*
nice nice...
anyhow u position the fan, make sure it creates good water ripple all across the water surface... good water ripple can dissipate heat better...
as u mentioned planning on shrimps as fauna, better to keep everything low tech... and run ur tank for at least a month and more frequent water change so ur tank could be cycled properly...

bro cata i think its becouse the light not deep enough for the glosso...thats y the glosso climbing up for the light before this i also had same problem...correct me if im wrong smile.gif .....today i start to rescape my tank...but im using back my japanese hairgrass coz seem its still healthy smile.gif
*
if use hair grass seems healthy... previous batch, new runners from my hair grass grow vr healthy... but dont know why stop growing already after my previous algae attack...

now my glosso more like semak samun den carpet... mayb i'll let it grow thicker some more before trimming it.... if still cannot will uproot it and replace with hair grass...

my 24/7 running co2 tank now running low on pressure... time to find for place to refil co2 in melaka....

crs bullied by ur rcs??...

QUOTE(shortpants @ Aug 18 2009, 09:30 AM)
in my case... im using only 1.5ft tank with height of bout 35cm... using only 1 55w powered light...

initially the glosso growing horizontally, but once they get overlapping, start growing vertically...

my photoperiod bout 5hrs/day and on at 7pm-12am...

is it possible because of no light at day time they will start to grow vertically?

starting from today, i set 4 hrs day time, 4 hrs nite time...

is my 55w is enough?

nice nice... but 55w for 1.5ft tank ok la... mine is 55w for 2ft tank... mayb insufficient for glosso to grow horizontally....

an update on my 3.5g

added one more fan and the temperature now is 28 degree at mid day and 26 during mid night.
The blyxa japonica at the back of the tank is melting some of its leaves but the front one is not...
The rest of the plant seems to be doing good.
I have a snail...a ramshorn I believe, can't seems to take a good picture of it though.

anyone using pressurized co2 tank??... can i refill the tank from certified fire extinguisher refill agent??... in other words, does fire extinguisher co2 same with the co2 used for aquascaping??... or fire extinguisher co2 is mixed with some reactive chemical which will cause harm to flora and fauna??..
