Hey guys, i would like to get some help on my new fish tank. I've recently take up planted aquariums and i don't know what are the guide's to let the plants maintain and i have yet not decided on what fish to put into my tank.

I heard you guys mentioning CO2, how do i place CO2 for my tank? And is water heater advisable ?

This is a picture of my new fish tank. It's measurement is : 18 inch x 9 inch x 9 inch.

Is my fish tank still able to put more plants? Or do i need to make it full & add the wooden log/branch?

Pls guide me along my way to a new journey of planted aquarium.

I'm from kl area. Room temp is about 28 degrees.

Btw if I don't have CO2 diffuser can I maintain my plants and my fishes in future?

Bro, i also noticed my plants today is the 3rd day already they dont look fresh anymore.
I still haven't add in any fish to my tank though. But how do i make a DIY CO2?
Can you please teach me?

Oh and btw what is the name of those plants where u can tie on the drift wood to grow ah?

Hey bro, how to fit in the DIY CO2? Channel to the bottom of the base of the tank? My filter is the standard cling on filter i don't know how to channel it with the DIY CO2. Can suggest?

And regarding the moss, where can i get it in PJ ?

Need fertilizer wan arh? aiks.. i didnt know about that, the water is fine i'm using Diamond filtered water at the moment.

Btw is it advisable to crowd the tank with alot of plants and a big wood? Cause i recently added in a wood and now it look very crowded plus adding in java moss at a particular spot of the wood. Does this mean i only can put in a very minimum number of fish only?

Okay erm sry i dont have the time to post up the picture, but that picture is a close-up picture thats why. I recently just have been busy so dont think will upload the photo so soon but i'll share with u some other time okay. As for the cost of the tank, i got it from Jusco. Includes cling-on water filter + gravel (sand) + cleaning kit + lightning + the tank @ RM 250++. Actually you can get this aquarium cheaper from those aquarium shops whereby they can customize according to the size or shape you want but may cost a lil bit more expensive depends on thickness of the glass.

P/S: will update you with my full photo ASAP. i got no time and my plants like dying havent put in my own DIY CO2.
