just back from kl....got new shrimplets again today...but it's RCS...not CRS:(dem!!still waiting patiently

i din buy aquasoil powder mar... yeah its glosso...



guppies...

@drew.

how how how how????remember let me know eh....

guys....one question..CO2 tank and Chiller...which is more important????

@playerseeker...

CO2 for plant...
Chiller for CRS...

I think...hehehe

haha..for my case..i believe chiller is more important for me....

how much is a 2nd hand chiller eh?? need to survey survey around the market...i have strong feeling i'll invest in chiller in future real soon....

I suggest c02 first, no point getting a chiller when plant's can't thrive.

Or just get both and be done with it.

In the second hand market, a CL650 is about rm 500~650

That's all I know off.

@Drew。。。

i cant get a clear shoot of my tank for IALPC with my poor DC... T_T

Thanks bro. still on learning.. i have a big learning curve here

hahha... ya, i only post my tank pic when it's ready only (and also that will means the tank will be teared down soon and rescape). glosso, the way to plant it is by spreading em strain by strain preferably. and then use a tweezer, plant them deep in the substrate and just leave the top 1-2 leaves above the soil. plant these around 1cm close to each other. yeah, you'll for sure taking your sweet time with glosso to plant. that's normal. once you're used to it, you wont feel the pain so much.

heh... thanks bro. at least as drew said, i'm know that i'm improving (hopefully will always). still learning tho same like everyone else.


if i joined a competition, i'll target the loot. all competition i've join i want something to get. if i dun think i can bring any, i wont join. hahah~!! heh, at least i know i am not alone in this hobby with a gaming addiction problem. and you for your case, have more common with me... music, gaming and scaping (except maybe u are more into CRS while im sux with shrimps). even my mother keep telling me to stop gaming because she said it;s childish and not suitable for my age anymore...bleh~!

@playerseeker
if you already own a proper co2 system, then go for chiller. otherwise, if i were you...i'll take co2 system first.unless you really dont plan to have planted tank (sounds like giving up huh) anymore and want to focus only at breeding CRS only. I agree with drew there... no points getting a chiller if your plant cant thrive or even survive. yeah i know co2 can be DIY easily, but hey....seriously. a proper co2 system is really worth it in the long run (that if you really wanna have a long run in the planted tank/aquascaping hobby anyway).

yea..i agree..and i'm not giving up on planted tank...i'm still in planted tank and CRS...i still not into breeding CRS but if they can breed..it's a good thing,no?

now i know....maybe i'll go for a proper CO2 tank 1st only invest in chiller......

@drew..
u think when i able to get from u...31st of may is last day...u think i able to setup and participate?????

With my 2feeter? Well, rush work is always risky. LOL!

I am after all selling you for cheaps! Wait a lil!!!

@tenchi, You're not on the island, kinda of a hassle for me to go over to take a proper picture LOL!

Drew

yea yea....well..it's worth the risk tho......

@chuppy
LoL....i'm here most of the time
haha....

yalo...too bad...but i try to my best on my poor DC

tenchi aiming for the IALPC?
wish you luck 1st

playerseeker..
"chiller for crs"
this is totally wrong perception....
aquaplant need 25~26degree for optimum growth

ouh ouh...like this...now i know...guess we can avoid any of two eh?? ..with the budget of only able to buy either CO2 or chiller..then i buy chiller then use DIY CO2 for the meantime...then later stage got budget only invest in CO2 tank...

thanks thanks guys..now i know

editted:
to tenchi also for the statement

sorry for the wrong input

I really suggest getting a c02 tank first.. So what if your water is cold and your plants are having trouble breathing? I mean mosses and ferns would be delighted, not too sure about others though. DIY c02 can do, but just save yourself the ehadache first LOL!

Drew

ouhgh.....thanks thanks for the advice....
