hi chuppy2 & pinchboyz.........

thks for the links.....i understand now......can i just ask how much is a CO2 system set-up, d most basic ( affordable also but good enough to use )?

is there any other less costly alternative to ADA soil ADA power sand n d rest of ADA products for the tank eg, Penac P & W, Bacter 100, clear super, etc......the reason is i dont want to spend so much on 1st time n it turns out to be unsuccessful...

am currently sourcing for a table/bench for the aquarium....will buy a 31ltr size....

thks again

@pskk- i think you can get other soil brand such as GEX. cheaper than ADA. for 5 elements, you can buy it loose (per spoon, per packet) around rm10-25 for the total 5.

my co2 from fire extinguisher just finish tonight. kind of weird, i just use it 2weeks. around 2bps 24/7...

wa.. so fast finished..? how many KG tank ?

Gex Soil rm30 for only 2KG.. its not reallly cheap..

forgot la.. around 2ft tall and5inch diameter.
err as i know GEX is chraper than ADA.

ya, true also, low volume and the parameter easy to change.
i wan to keep in 2ft tank, but then feel hard to change it and give all the fish away...

GEX cheaper than ADA? true also, but not by a HUGE margin. I'd go for ADA anyhows haha..

Drew

wa.. chubby so early wake up ?! im just waiting for my car license agent... im having a car license test today..

good luck fongzai..

update my tank...

"my tree" is growing slow...using the mixture of peacock moss and taiwan moss...

HC is showing some runner butmy CO2 is currently still DIY..so the growth terbantut....going to get CO2 tank this weekend tho...and going to add on my current lighting 55w to another i dunnu yet....lol

my merisea is doing not so good...those are from previous setup....and my tenullus is doing not so good as well

havnt start dosing yet.....the tank is around 3 weeks old.....

havnt change to ADA soil...still using seachem flourite sand...changed the filter media.....change the rubber ring of the filter...

my RCS is doing fine in my new tank.....

am planning to shut down my main RCS tank.....just maintain this 2ft tank....



anyway...it's nice to see alot of ppl here

9L of ADA cost RM88, in which 1L only cost ~RM9.80

3kg gex rm30++ so ADA is better

but ADA soil "break" faster than GEX....rite?? that's wat i heard from ppl

not sure though so thats why i have both equal amounts of GEX and ADA in my tank xD

they say Gex soil clears faster than ADA, but the Gex soil i using now the grain size is quite big, and it seems to be abit light, so my plants cant stay in the soil if its just about 1-1.5 inch high

L != KG
nvr try to weight those ADA aquasoil yet...

haha, maybe the Amazonia II
always, heard from ppl...


GEX also have 2 type, big size and fine type...

daym i bought amazonia II lo that day.. just put it in my tank last night!

hi guys,

thk u all for your feedback n adv.....will stick to ADA...

amazonia II clear faster than amazonia I...
the issue "break" not tat teruk as per mentioned la...
no need worry...
