Omg now i just know that to much co2 will reduce PH levels.

can flourish excel replace CO2 injection?

hahaa.. u mean DIY co2 with yeast ? no la..

using this as a replacement first while surveying for co2 tank

will let u know if got any improvement bcoz my tank dun hav any co2 source yet, other than the fish

ermm.. based on web, if co2 injection giving 10 points, this only can give 6-7

It's much more expensive to dose with excel anyway in the long run.

And not all plants accept excel well.

( HC on the other hand.. LOVES excel)

Drew

orly hc loves it? will my shrimp gets iritated if i just dose a little, really little

yea, shrimps are one of the sensitive to Excel ones.. whereas HC.. it's like a drug to them haha.

excel one drop of it shrimp sure go crazy and die!

no joke

its just 5ml for 200L daily or the next day according to manual

for my tank i use less =)

oh ya... forget to mention, no shrimp in my tank, i am keeping tiger barb

Apple snail also crazy while dose excel.

There goes my dose:( thought could activate steroids to my newly planted hc

up to u lah.. which one more important? ur hc or ur shrimps? hahahhaha

hey guys! im really new to this and was hoping to get some advice.
Ive got myself a normal sized tank and 40x20x30 cm i think lol. Previously i had like 3 clown fish (salt water) in them and now im looking to start a planted aquarium. Heading to the nearby Oceanic Aquarium in puchong this week
Ive read the guides and stuff available here too. Any additional advice? Wish me luck =)

HC is?
Btw, my plant green at top but all brown at bottom.Is it iron deficiency? and some plant got root some plant dont have root..

make sure u bring atm card / credit card


HC short form for something like hippopotamus seliparbagus or something likedat

Hermiantus Callithrodes or something like that/ screwed up on the spelling.

Just call it HC and it's all good hahaha

other than HC / glosso / hg what other carpet plants are there?
UG?

UG.. Elatine Trindra.. there's another one. dark green in colour.. forgot the name..

i think ET would be more suitable for bigger tanks?
ive seen some display tanks using stylogaeny as carpets lol

staurogyne ? yea those are lovely too.
