my plants survive without co2 tank.. hehe.. ur fish produce co2 by breathing, and they take oxygen produced by plants .. so its just a matter of balancing the amount of fish vs the amount of plants if u dun hav co2 tank  icon_rolleyes.gif  of course u need to have light
*
hmm. yes you are right. but the co2 produced isnt sufficient for Optimal growth. hence the external introduction of co2 with a co2 tank

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Nov 23 2010, 09:00 PM)
thanks.
Every Aquarium shop I go to ask me to buy a Co2 Tanks system or threaten my plants my die.

lulz.

Talking about light, you mean sun light or florescent light?

Newbie here. Still learning.
*
which stupid aquarium shop did you go to?

fluorescent lighting. 6500k white

QUOTE(ciohbu @ Nov 23 2010, 09:07 PM)
i also newbies here .. hahaa, can't compare my tank with all the pros here XD

depends on type of plants and how many u have in the tank i think.. for lightning i just use the light i got from local fish shop, plus my tank near front door, so it stil can get some sun light
*
dont have to compare with the pros. post here, some of us can help criticize/improve. then from there we can see growth.

different type of plants needs diferrent intensity of lights. intensity can be measured by light wattage.

and using sun light isnt recommended. somehow it only attracts algae growth and also increase water temperature. too hot is no good for plants.

Lighting....
what is lighting roles in aquascaping...

recalling back also our primary school content, plants need sunlight to assist in photosenthesis process.
so, what is the lighting that can replace for sunlight?

read before on statement from Amano-san, he did a research and found out that at 8000k lighting temperature, the light source will penetrate water and send enough lighting for plants to perform photosenthesis....

-end-

where to find 8k? got ah? lol i usualy see 6500 and those 12k ones for marine tanks

Thanks...  biggrin.gif wub.gif
Still studying, thats why low maintenance plants... I had some trouble trying to make the lawn stay there, had to sprinkle some gravel on it to make it sink...  blush.gif
I'm still having trouble trying to make the spiky moss stick on to the driftwood, cause the driftwood actually curves into itself, sort of concave like that. So I don't think its really sticking to the driftwood, just being held there by the fishing line I used.

Using a net won't do any good cause of the concave surface... sad.gif

Anyone got any experience??? icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

theres no other way just let it grow and it will naturally stick

Is canister filter a necessary if i start up a tank measuring 1.5ft - 2.0ft?
*
depends. if your seriously into growing the good stuff.. then its necessary. if not. then its only recommended but not necessary.

cuz if ur going for 2ft, HOB will be too small. filter media wont be enough
top filter ull have an ugly pump in the tank + increase temperature + loss of co2 thru water agitation
so anything 2feet and above if ur going for planted tank then ull need a canister.

Any recommendation for 2 feet lighting set? Either T5 or PL are welcome. Budget < RM 90.  sweat.gif


Added on November 29, 2010, 10:13 pmArhh..my water sprite seems like growing some black spot "tar" on their leaves and stems. Is that red algae or what? It makes my water sprite very ugly.  vmad.gif

im a fan of pll because i think the only 2feet tube with 55watt. t5 dunhave. means ull have to buy 2 x t5 maybe 26watt or sumthing like dat.
a 2ft 55wat pll will cost about less than rm50 if u Diy. bulb wold cost from rm17 to 25. ballast just abit cheaper. or u can buy those set for house use punya.. buy at electrical store.. rm50 i tink

Then i saw so many fella outside also the same.. meet xian leng bosses...  don't dare to ask him for help bcos he can't do much, as the exhibition person incharge set the rules that "YB" coming later cannot wear short pants to enter -.-

Gosh.. what a rules.. a moment later "YB" also wear short pants n enter.. my fren and i was shouting and say "Kenapa YB pakai Short pants boleh masuk" n got chase out by the KLCC guards -.- FML

diy lights are cheap and easy. but the only downside it doesnt look good lah. have u see those lights usually used for outside lights. lol shops sell thoe lights, inside some is actually pl55watt in it.
or u just buy reflector + lightbulb + ballast.

pm freestyler about the light. he bought 1

can i use a higher flow HOB filter on a smaller tank let say a 30L tank. Was thinking to go for Eheim 2042 320-760l/h output...was thinking i need not upgrade filter when i need a tank upgrade.

will the current too strong & affect my planted or will my fishes have to work out more due to the strong suction from the filter?
*
hobs can adjust the flow right i think.if the flows too powerful later ur tank like taufan inside. susah lah
