dont go fish shop.. go light shop.. electrical shop they sell em way cheaper

oh really? but i tried two electrical shop but they dun have the 6500K tubes. maybe i shud try more shops.

who say electrical shop they dont have 6500k tubes...
dont go those small small electrical shop...
go those shop only sell Bulb... they have alot... from T5 till what kind you want also got...

yeah.. i went to the shop lights everywhere.. i got my pll tube rm18 nia.. fish shops sell rm30 lol

seri kembangan rm15 each . 55W . hehe . but yours is still very cheap

haahahha still got cheaper ka?

i went to one shop rm28 brandless.. then i passby one shop so i went in and saw rm18 phillips brand zzzzzzz haahah

ok. since i'm getting lotsa useful infos in here.. theres another thing i was thinkin bout..

the eheim filter has different inlet and different outlet hose. inlet being 17mm and outlet being 13 mm.. is there anyway to make it standard to all 17 mm? any hose adapter i can find.. coz the one hardware shop is too big le.. cannot fit the 13 mm wan..

maybe this type would help.

ive seen that in some fish shops as well as hardware store.. ace hardware lol..

one thing i wish to ask .. what is the difference of e-ballast and normal ballast? advantage of using e-ballast ? the light shop give me an normal ballast for the 55W PLL for rm18.

for me it doesnt matter about the ballast, just ask the shop owner you want light bulb and all accessories to make the light switch on... they will suggest you... you dont need to know about the ballast thing... you only needed to know trying get the best price will do haha !!
then ask them show you which one fit which 1 then if can ask them try light once for you see then you will know =)

moe..got guideline for DIY chiller a?? cheap version...heheeh
michanz....if i throw cherries to test water..i afraid later hard to bring them out anymore...haha

but i'm thinking to keep other shrimps also..

in a tank got CRS, cherries, snow ball and some.....i wonder will tat be any problem? or i just stick to my original plan....CRS tank only...heheh

DIY chiller? lol everything you can DIY but not Chiller...
cost of DIY is more than you buy a Chiller... plus DIY chiller not Secure... if Leak... hahahah Gong Xi Fatt Chai !! xD

look in side google. i remember i saw some on somewhere. they use a small water pump + fan with heatsink. but that way can reduce to 25Celcius max only. not really efficient and will have great trouble fixing water leakage. get a 2nd hand chiller might be easier i think ?

anyone supper tonight? somewhere nearby kajang... bored ~

im saying cherrie to test water.. 1 or 2 enuff.. see they like the water ornot.. when all ok.. take them out la.. heheh

the best DIY Chiller is AIRCOND!!!! COOOLS YOU! AND YOUR TANK!

Air cond not DIY la =.= lolz...

hmm ... someone might be willing to try to put a air pump on air con output.
then pump the COOL air straight into the tank ?
woahahaha ..
In my opinion .. chiller is the best option

yeah stop messing around and just get a damn chiller hehehe

Hmmm ....... if that is the case, then looks like EI or PPS is out of the question

my ferts..

now waiting for someoe to show their ADA ferts pulak heeheh
