Hi guys, i got a few question here as i'm still new. I would like to ask where to buy..
1)glosso
2)hair grass

and if DIY co2, is it will keep dosing co2 for 24/7? How to stop dosing it at night or in the evening?
For the temperature, how to make it a suitable temperature? is it wanna buy something like wat heater?
Thank you.
*
go to ur local fish shops and check whether they have them or not.. where u from?

yes diy co2 u cant control the outflow! so its 24/7.. im on it 24/7 no problem also lah..u wana stop it atnight? take the tube out lah..

temperature? whats ur current temp? good tem is about 25/26/27 degrees...
u dont need a heater.. u need a chiller which can cost up to rm500 for 2nd hand.. so just get a fan and blow the tank

where to buy depends on ur location lor...

diy co2 most of us jz pump in 24/7.. dont stop the dosing as the pressure build up inside ur plastic yeast bottle will explode...
no our weather is hot enough (in fact too hot) for normal planted tank... we need chiller rather den heater... normal planted tank water temperature should be around 25-27 degrees... if u keeping shrimps like unker pinchboyz, recommended temp would be 23-25 degrees...

wohoo same as wat i said =D
QUOTE(BenSow @ Dec 21 2009, 04:33 PM)
ok now I want to ask if I connect my DIY co2 outlet to my filter outlet which is about 1 inch from the water surface will the co2 be able to diffuse enough for my plants?
*
usually no.. what do u use as a diffuser?

Added on December 21, 2009, 4:42 pmthe only way i did to control the co2 was this

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)

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??
*
where u from btw? just set up ur tank without the plants and let it cycle first then
ur temp is good enuff!

lights? 3watts per gallon..

double ur lights wattage tongue.gif
