Guys,

I'm looking into starting an aquarium over here. As I don't have a car I cannot drive back and forth an lfs all the time.

Is there a good enough lfs in 1) Bukit Bintang area and 2) at MidValley?

What's the best area to buy a tank? I once walked around in Pudu area; and saw so many stores selling tanks (and fish).

I actually want a 1mtr tank (guess that's around 3 to 4 feet right?), but not the conventional size to keep it manageable.

I was actually looking for a tank for tiny fish (groupfish) only. The small tetra's sound nice for this (the really small version, not the regular 2cm or more....

Is it possible to buy a tank with the following size: 100cmx30cmx30cm (so long but not that high and deep), or perhaps even 100x25x25?

Any input would be great!

Ilya

p.s. this was my old tank back in the Netherlands

Lol . I did that too yes back in the days .

It usually takes some days to rid the wood of any color.

Did you also wash and rinse the sand itself numerous times? All the smallest particles will start to float once submerged in water.

Do know that due time plants will filter your water too, so does your actual filter. Did you fire up your filter already?

If you leave the filter on...and wait for some hours...does the water turn ok again (as in particles sink to the bottom again)?

It's either driftwood or the soil/sand ... in both cases clean/rinse more and better. Did you actually buy actual fish tank driftwood? I know I guy that used a regular stick he found in the woods; that didn't end so well as all his fish died after that.

I saw one recently at the Perfect Living Fair, but it looked custom made. It's a small but wide tank...especially suitable for panoramic aquatic scenes; I was hoping to put some small fish in there....

Please advise

Wonderful news guys! I'm going to pay a visit to those shops soon...but ej...what's/where's 'NA'

Going to check out East Aqua (that's in Ikano Power Center right?) tomorrow for a custom build tank...100cmx25cmx25cm (or 100x20x20)...

Can't wait
