went to a LFS for window shopping just now... saw they are selling 1L of Eheim Substrate Pro for rm70 only, the cheapest i have seen so far. 1L ADA bio rio for RM50. but the boxes are a bit old and dusty already. i think they are old stocks.

just wondering, will they actually "expired"? :S

thanks...

blink.gif 2ft using 55w is low light???
Then my one, 2ft with 36w is super low light lo... shocking.gif

I'm planting Asian Ambulia (Limnophila sessiliflora), Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) and Rotala wallichii (Rotala sp. 'wallichii')
I can grow them quite satisfactory even with 36w for 2ft, but they grow even better when I added DIY co2. The only difference I observed is that they don't grow new stems side ways. When I trim them, only one new stem will grow out, not like everyone else which has 2-3 new stems growing out everytime you trim. blush.gif So cannot get the bushy effect cry.gif

But now I'm considering adding the lighting to 55w la, cause I really want to make the stem plants bushy... sad.gif

BTW, how much you bought your 55w PL lighting??? icon_question.gif  I'm thinking of replacing my DIY T8 lighting with a new set instead of adding another T8 lighting...
Cause new set got proper casing and reflector tongue.gif , and won't take as much space as 3 set of T8 fluorescent tubes...

hmm.. i bought it for around rm100... cannot remember the exact amount...

the problem is i do not have co2... i thought strong light and CO2 must come together in order for them to grow nicely..

thats y i opt for low requirement stem plant...

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
hi... do u have any info on how to DIY the light?

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
hobs can adjust the flow right i think.if the flows too powerful later ur tank like taufan inside. susah lah

hmm.. sorry.. wat do u mean by "outside lights"? notworthy.gif
