i already did cover 3/4 of the top surface of my tank,left 1/4 for fan to cool the water,it manage to jump out from that spot

Any one here uses Shirui sand? I've been washing the sand for hours but the water still turns out murky. Any advice?

White or Grayish Water
Gravel Residue - If the water is cloudy immediately, or within an hour or two of filling the tank, it's probably due to insufficiently washed gravel. Drain the tank and rinse the gravel until the water runs clear. That should resolve the problem.

Dissolved Constituents - If washing the gravel doesn't solve the problem, the next most likely cause of cloudy water in a newly filled tank is a high level of dissolved constituents such as phosphates, silicates, or heavy metals. If you test the water, you'll no doubt find the pH is high (alkaline). In these cases, treating the water with conditioners will often resolve the problem.

Another option, that has many benefits beyond resolving cloudy water, is to use RO (Reverse Osmosis) water. Your local fish shop may sell it, or sell units capable of making RO water.

Bacterial Blossom - Often cloudy water doesn't appear the instant an aquarium is set up. Instead it appears days, weeks, or even months later. In these cases the cause is usually due to bacterial bloom. As the new aquarium goes through the initial break in cycle, it is not unusual for the water to become cloudy, or at least a little hazy. It will take several weeks to several months to establish bacterial colonies that are able to clear wastes from the water. Over time that cloudiness will resolve itself.

Decaying plants or excess food that remains uneaten can also cause the milky water seen in bacterial bloom. Regardless of the cause, don't panic over bacterial blooms. Keeping the aquarium very clean by removing debris such as decaying plants and uneaten food, vacuuming the gravel regularly, and performing partial water changes, will quickly resolve most cases of bacterial bloom. Cut back feeding to every second or third day, which will cut down on excess food decay.

If there are particles of debris in the water that you are unable to remove via water changes and vacuuming, a flocculent may be used to clear them away. Flocculates cause particles of debris to clump together so they can easily be removed by the filter (be sure to clean your filter so it's working at peak efficiency). Flocculates are generally marketed as water clarifiers, and may be found at your fish shop.

i excited because before this i not see this sp at LFS..  IMHO this fish suitable for planted tank coz they stay at middle water column.. kinda fun see them swim between plant and hardscape..

LFS at kota kemuning, shah alam..

i tried to tie moss to dw.. but.. i think no success..
others i kept in container put in fridge until further " notice".
Alamak~ this is how i show support to wei jie 's moss collection

Some people suggest to tie it with fishing line, eventually it will sink, but take times..
alternatively keep boiling it.. =.= or add weight to the drift wood, it just take times..

Myriophyllum mattogrossense
Japanese Hairgrass [OUT OF STOCK]
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis [OUT OF STOCK]
Pogostemon sp Babien Laos

All these need soil kan?

anyone want to sell fire red shrimp...??
