QUOTE(oldskull01 @ Dec 21 2009, 02:58 PM) Hi guys, i got a few question here as i'm still new. I would like to ask where to buy.. where to buy depends on ur location lor...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. 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... |

HOB, especially with long "lips" touching the water surface, water slide down with less wave/bubble... correct me if wrong... for my shrimp tank i dun care about co2 loss... i'm planting low tech plants... my main concern is my shrimps getting sufficient o2 or not... |

They don't eat the algae but they do help to turn over some of the sand around. ooo... |
