i have succumb to the beauty of planted aquarium.

so sifus of the planted aqua world, please help me in building my tank.

what i have so far is:

a tank (12 inch x 6 inch x 8 inch )
co2 ceramic diffuser.
DIY co2 setup consisting of a co2 reactor and a catch tank.
ADA aqua soil.
hanging filter (400 liters /h)
no plants yet since i am having difficulty in obtaining them.
13 watt daylight bulb for the lighting.

anything else that i should add?

i am concentrating on growing the plants first then only i will add the fish or shrimps.

please advice wise sifus.

michanz. i have a false setup right now.just to get the feel of the tank. but no true planting as yet since there is difficulty in obtaining normal plants such as java moss,HC and hair grass where i am staying.

have ordered them and waiting for them to arrive by pos.

fongzai92, my water temperature in daytime is reading at 25 degrees celcius. do i still need to buy chillers since at night my water temperature will go down to about 20-22 degrees.

how much more light do i need??

WA.. u stay at genting highland ?!! tongue.gif if like that u dun need a chiller or fan... maybe heater !? haha..

btw.. u keep in air-conditoned room or ?

if u wan to keep HC.. hair grass.. better change ur lighting set 1st..
