I rinsed the ring when I first got them to clean off the dust.
If you are talking about filter maintenance, I clean my filter once a month by rinsing the medias with the old tank water. Some will clean it every 2 or 3 month but that depends on your fish load, decaying leaf in the tank, filter size and so forth.

@chuppy : Saw your 60P post on APC, can't wait for it to be scape. hehehe.

lol, so you found that huh.. Ssshhhh.. keep it quiet

Drew

thinking of doing a DIY canister filter >.<
very interesting challenge, and i think if done nicely, would better some of the good MIC brands out there.

comparison with durability vs cost...
at the end, i will jump to those MIC prod...

ya.. will not go for DIY unless really lack of budget.. or maybe love to DIY ?

sometime DIY will cost more, but becoz the satisfication after DIY, some still will

still dun see my hairgrass hav runner..

It took me 2 weeks to see runners. give them some time.

mind list down the what u use such fertiliser.. amount of light.. thanks.

Really depends on your ability to source out cheap parts and whether you can get it right the first go . But im a DIY person, so the thrill of DIYing is where the fun is =D.

Gonna base my project on this two:

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumap...ilter-step.html
http://www.bouzada.d2g.com/foro/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=50

Both project looks fantastic. Rough calculation, if get all the items should cost me about RM80-100. But i'll try to source parts here and there and keep the budget to about RM50. Pump would be some MIC pump, so if done properly, the weakest item would be the pump. I think if the canister body can be built properly, it would rival even Eheim's quality. But of course, the pump realibility, Eheim would definately win =D.

wow... their DIY canister look so solid and durable...

Current setup:

Ada Africana
2 X 24W T5HO over 7 gallon tank

Fert:
ADA brighty k

That looks a lot like anubias nana..

They don't do well being planted into the soil... Plants like anubias, bolbitis and ferns do not appreciate having their rhizomes planted!

Drew

no.. that not anubias nana.. its stem plants..

Then I have no idea liao~~

Pinchboyz san, shed some light
