so how do u maintain the water parameter?

ok lets discuss offline

thanks bro... wc also never?

what fish did u put it in?

anyone wanna sell glosso?

guys, im selling my 4ft tank cheap2 anyone wants it?

check out my-mac.net

there are alot of 2nd items selling there... price may vary depends on brands...

guy, im giving out some fish if anyone of u wants...

- black tetra 4
- wild guppies 4
- red zebra 4
- cae - 1

self collect at taman puncak jalil & pls bring ur own container

hehehe no la... its overstock inside my small tank... i still have around 20++ neon tetras with them... so need to reduce some....

1) bout eheim filter, im not too sure bout the model # but if not mistaken, i did asked around bout rm450-500++ i think... didnt buy, decided to buy el cheapo canister filter at this moment...

2)
- tank depends on sizes.... i bought 2nd hand 4kg tank still have c02 bout 170.... got offer also 2kg tank bout rm120... new i think bout rm 200++ onwards for 2kg if not mistaken...
- regulator got manual & soleniod type, bout 85 & 280 respectively...
- u need also valve check (very cheap rm 5 onwards)
- bubble counter bout rm10 cheap 1 also...
- glass diffuser also got few choices range from rm15 onwards...
- hose

if u go all ADA products it wont be that cheap.... countless times more expensive...

i would suggest to do it on ur own.... just wanna share my experience... im once, few months ago, just had to know this hobby... went to a lfs (small 1), buy everything lumpsum, ask him to scape, after a week bring tank home... thn i start to read & read & read... thn only understand the rational behind it... thn also i realised the lfs didnt explain or rather didnt 'follow' some of the recommended or i would say principle of aquascaping...

thn i started to do on my own for my 2nd tank... it becomes more interesting when u see the progress by ur own hand... if it died also, nevermind, keep study and continue to learn as u experience doing it rather than asking them to do it...

this is my own experience & my preference as i already did that...

just to add... saw some lfs selling led type for nano tank... but i dun believed that ist for planted tank... unless u r using all low light plants... the led (current) lamp for nano tank merely for cosmetic purposes.... imo...

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?

Attached thumbnail(s)

last time i did 10 hrs but i got algea attacked already... can be seen in my pics also... then reduce to 8 hrs... still the same... now doing 8 hrs, 4 hrs day time 4 hrs nite time... this to reduce, i believed, glosso growing verticle coz day time still got some lite if i did not swith on... lets see how it goes...

i did some triming and also taken out some glosso and replanted on the other side of the scape... this to fastern up growing hehehe...

yup that is ista brand rm 16 at few lfs....

i think that is the cheapest for glass diffuser... n cute too...

most of the time when i bought new plants, it will melt initially, later it will grow new 1...

bro... rm30 for a packet of how many kg / litter?

ada soil is now around rm80 for 9kg....

if 30 for 3kg, means quite expensive if non ada soil for rm90 - 9kg...

anyone in kl selling rcs + sakura? (cheap cheap hehehe)
