ADA amazonia seems hard to find now, any other alternative?

Aiya... If too hard to find tell me ma, I can recommend you others. But others except JBL I've never use before la Just reviews from others who have used it.

JBL Ferropol 24 cannot find nevermind la. JBL Ferropol is enough already, how much did you get it for???

Dose according to your tank, what kind of plants can list out? How big the tank? Algae cleaning crew is who?

I dose every 3 days like that, very small dose, half a cap, the round one. My tank 2ft 25 gallon, stem plants and moss.

Radver: not beside computer now. Tmr night post up here

Can give me picture of your tank??? from what you describe its very small...

The interval you can decide yourself, which is more convenient for you. My intervals are short because I don't want too much fertilizer at once, because if once a week then need to put a lot at once.

Your tank size, unless you can find someway to administer smaller amounts each time. If not, you dose once a week after water changes la.

You using ADA soil???

Use exactly or less then the amount on the instructions, its a bit hard to underdose IME, but very easy to overdose. If the leaves dying off too fast or too much add more fert. If the leaves turn yellow add more ferts. If a lot of algae, you can stop or just dose 1/10 of what you usually dose.

its just a small tank.1ft.35cmx20x25. i need to do some beta test before move on bigger aquarium.

that why my learning process started with small tank.

i think i'll put 2.5ml only.

even right now im fighting with hair algae.demm!

I am fighting hair algae too..
Where could I buy H2O2. I want to kill those demm bba also.

I would like to check wit u guys, could i actually use sponge to layer the bottom before putting soil so i could create a hill slope? will be putting sponge be recommend? im afraid that overtime it will trap bad bacterias and rot.

cheers!

For the sponge thingy, I've only heard of putting crushed lava racks to layer the bottom, make the slope higher and also can save on the ADA soil cause no need to use that much.

i dont think putting a sponge thingy will be a good idea.
what if after setting up everything, fish and plants like your tank, then sudd those sponge start to grow bad bacteria?
You need to take out everything and start from zero?
I am using crushed lava rock as base layer. Works well until now. Save me lots of ADA.
i could get lava rock for rm6 per kg at Bangi here but lately it is out of stock ><
Last month i check at 88p***mart, they are selling at rm18.50 per peice

wah..that is indeed expensive. Yea...guess that sponge is not good idea. Headache to revamp the whole tank again after settling down it. Mean i have to laydown lava rocks as the most bottom then only ADA right. Bangi seem quite far ler.

Little bits of my noob tank.
Correct me if this is not elder and guppy







it is out of stock here. dont come

That one not betta la...

Guppy is guppy... Betta is this...

Thought someone actually found a way for them to coexist in a tank together and not fight until the death...

Ouch! I really wrote Betta ? Thousands sorry
Well you can keep 100 female Betta tgt but they won't fight
Male actually fight for territories and mate. Maybe provide them with more space?
I don't have exp keeping Betta. Need to ask pros

Guyz....if i set up a tank like the photo u all share from 30) SengCheong in the front page, how am i going to clean the fish poo?wash the whole tank?or just change the water?or leave it there....

the beneficial bacteria will help u settle the fish poo...
thumb of rule... if u want less hassle, less frequent water change, keep the amount of fauna inside low.... by using a canister filter, beneficial bacteria can populate and colonize inside ur filter, hence improving biological filtration...

thx bro...i will try it this week without filter and see....fish i think i will keep either betta or maybe few guppies

search for Seachem Excel... its a replacement for CO2 injection... but main stuff inside is h202 and can fight algae .. search google for how to use excel to fight algae usually require u to overdose them, but if u have shrimp or sensitive fauna inside ur tank, becareful ~

ahh my riccia also alot of hair algae , now like gula kapas.......TT___TT"

It is a known fact that RCS breeds like rabbits, but having experience it personally, it was very exciting to see new life been created in my own shrimp tank. I didnt realised the first batch until I see about 6 teens, and now quite a number of my cherries are carrying eggs, so I check on them everyday. Last night I noticed up to 20 babies, around 3mm in length.

Now, should I start on CRS? Can they co-exist with RCS?
