QUOTE(pinchboyz @ Dec 5 2009, 08:44 PM) seems like everything ready huh..... Come liao.. Come liao....eheim? chupps, come come come.... 4feeter? If [ classic series..] I recomend OKAY : ONE 2217.. BETTER : TWO 2215 BEST : TWO 2217  ( This is crazy haha, but guarantee you filter strong )that would be the "cheaper" options lorh.. Ecco series are too small for a 4feeter and you need to buy more than 1 unit to be stable.. Anything else is more expensive ( professional range ) But seriously, as long as the L/H is anywhere between 4x~6x of your tank litreage, then it's fine ( EXAMPLE, TANK IS 100 LITRES . YOUR FILTER AT LEAST BE 400~600 L/H MINIMUM. ) personally, i go for 10x.. but that's just me. Drew |

1) why u wanna put gravel on top of ADA aquasoil? 2) what is tetra nitrate minus ? with a develope and healthy bacteria system, u dun need tat 3) CO2? since u mentioned hairgrass, is a CO2 must must plant hi pinchboyz, thks for your reply... like i said, a newbie...saw it on youtube...how to set up a planted aquarium. they put substrate at bottom n then top it with a layer of gravel... wat u thk? no need gravel? just the layer of substrate will do? d nitrate minus is to make sure tat food for algae is eliminated so tat algae will not gorw in your tank as said in youtube... |

@pskk,
Don't rely on chemicals, it's only a temporary solution. PLUS, NO AQUARIUM IS ALGAE FREE. I dare anyone here say their tanks are algae free. Also, ADA soil is the "new" type of soil, it doesn't use that method where we put a clay based nutrient rich "soil" and cover with a layer of gravel.. that's the old skool method. Still can do. But NOT WITH ADA SOIL. Hope this helps. Oh, instead on relying on youtube, let's try reading around.. let's say.. www.my-mac.net ahaha tons of aquascaping based information you can find there. Drew |
