my previous setup...
 lately the HG carpet starts to get botak d... HG uprooting itself... got minor algae attack as well... so i decided to rescape it... lower the substrate abit so the plants can grow more... 1ft height tank really too shallow to create nice scape.... i removed almost half of the substrate without disturbing it much... added a few pallets of iron bottom and multi bottom coz didnt do the base fert when i first started the tank... this is what i came up with...  background, tonina... middle, riccia... front, UG... relocated my canister filter intake pipe as well.. looks more organized now...  lomo shot of the middle rock... lighting 55w... not really sufficient for UG i think... plans to upgrade another 55w... see budget how.... pressurized co2 tank... bps unsure coz didnt have bubble counter... pakai hentam only... lolz.. canister filter JET-3388... fert using seachem trace element only... halfcap per week... ok ahh??... |

QUOTE(pakutekan @ Aug 23 2010, 06:12 AM) i suggest you remove the SAE first.. UG didnt have 'proper' root as other plant (HC,HG, etc), it can easily uproot especially when you newly planted it. ohh.. okok... so far no uprooted UG... if its getting serious i will remove the SAE... i bought it in melaka nature aquatic studio... rm8 per small pot... most expensive plant i ever bought.. lolz... bought 2 only... planted it evenly across the foreground... hopefully can grow...btw where do you get the UG? hehee.. QUOTE(Monsterjin @ Aug 23 2010, 07:27 AM) I rcmd your filter inflow and outflow to be located as, in flow on left, out flow on right (the head tilt 45% to the left) or vice versa, inflow and outflow having put close together is disadvantagous for the over all water flow if tilt the head 45deg forward abit, the co2 diffused wont be able to circulate around the tank well wor... currently the aeration seems fine as i can see the diffused co2 bubble distributed evenly around the tank...  |

QUOTE(ProX @ Sep 10 2010, 11:54 AM) SAE still got. I got a bunch of them in my tank. No display fish. Only SAE, Oto and Yamato shrimp. Even their waste is in green because i havent feed them anything at all and dont intend to. dont need to feed SAE laa... if they learn to take fish food, they will not take in algae... so, better remain their diet on algae only...

QUOTE(loon1031 @ Sep 13 2010, 11:28 PM) What is the flow rate? flow rate means how many liters of water it can pump at a given period of time... the higher the value, the more suitable it is for larger tank....KW clearance area or inside the shop? most canister filter can adjust flow rate... but u dont want it to restrict the flow rate so much as pressure built up inside can cause leak at the o-ring seal.... hence, choose the correct flow rate canister filter to suit the size of ur tank so it can create sufficient aeration and filtration.... |

QUOTE(nismo87 @ Sep 17 2010, 11:24 PM) Indeed nice =), do we need to change the soil after a long run? most ADA soil can last for 2 years plus... if u wanna push the limit, ur plants will get less healthy lo...most people will top up with new soil when the rescape... if the substrate is too high, can scoop some of the old soil out and top up with new one... not necessary to change everything as u will eliminate the bacteria colony inside.... watch out for unstable water parameters after topping up with new soil... i wiped out all my RCS when i did last time...  QUOTE(maxtrix @ Sep 18 2010, 01:02 AM) Hi, I just bought a 2.5kg CO2 system from Mudah. Including regulator, valve and bubble counter. make sure no leaks...But I found the pressure shown in the regulator is not consistent, sometimes 1100psi, sometime drop to 500psi. And I tried to set the bubble to 1bps, but after a while the bubble stop and the water in bubble counter back flow. How do you guys adjust the regulator to fix the bubble to 1bps? This is the first time I use CO2 tank. I connect the regulator to the CO2 tank, then connect to check valve, then bubble counter then diffuser. Is it correct? make sure the solenoid is working well... and not ticking (means on/off periodically according to its mood).... |

QUOTE(Roz @ Sep 19 2010, 02:51 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Okay so I have a few question for u guys! 1) How do I clean the tank? Just take out 3/4 of the water and wipe-wipe and wash out using the water from the aquarium? How often do I have to clean? 2) How do I clean the filter and how often? The guy at the shop told me to wash using water from the aquarium also. He said no need to clean thoroughly but just rinse gently. True? 3) There are things in the filter called bio-foam and carbon cartridge with wool that according to that guy need to be replaced every 3 months. Where can I get these things? 4) Is it okay if every time I see the fish poops I quickly scoop the poopies out? Or that will disrupt their natural environment or something? 5) Oh does anyone know the name of that plant? So urm.. for now thats all I guess. 2) yes, rinse the filter element in aquarium water can adi... i mean not rinse in ur aquarium laa... when u do water change, the water that u removed can use to rinse ur filter... no need clean filter so often... once a month or less also can... 3) bio ring promotes bacteria growth in ur filter... ada also can, takda also can... without it, bacteria growth will be slower lo... 4) no need to scoop laa... guppy poop vr small only... after ur tank has matured (after a month plus), the bacteria will turn poop into nutrient for the plants... but u are using normal holland sand only, no nutrient in the soil... if u want ur plants to survive also abit hard... unless if hardy plant mayb can la... 5) no idea... photo so small.... |
