what type of filter? what type of lights? do state.

since u got tank liao

rm40 for soil
and rm25 for liquid fertilizer
rest is for plants i guess..
unless u wana buy rocks or wood.
lights 2 bulbs 6500k white lights then should be fine.
co2? diy loh

dont tell us is TOP filter then can already.

that great.Where you live?i still finding more plant and driftwood now.Any recommendation for finding driftwood in KL?

Chuppy,

I am not too sure is this BBA or GSA. It started from the glosso's root and up to the leaf. I try to rub off with finger but now it spread too fast and almost all the glosso affected. It looks like a brown or some black coating on the leaves.

Another photo is my hemiathus also have same problem. When i bought it back the leaves all look very greenish but now the whole plant was covered with the black coating.

Any method to handle this algae? Real headache now as too new in planted tank.

Many thanks.

How long is your photo period and how frequent do you water change? and How much you water change?

How big is the tank, what fishes are in there.

What are your lights, what are your c02 dosing method.

And finally, what are you dosing.

Cheers

You can put Oto in to help cleaning up the leaves.

hey prox. he claims he has all 3 CUC already

PROX the zen man wahahaha

Otto will love those algea!! yum yum.

Chuppy - I am not there yet . . . still need to learn from you and the rest of advance aquarist out there.

Maybe not enough CUC. Any idea how many does he has?

Btw, since i never post any picture in this thread (Most of the time in MAC).

hi guys...
i just had my tank set up and im very new....
im new here and i would like to know how much a 2 litre co2 tank usually cost?

Hello guys,
Just done my first API liquid pH test and came out to be 8.0pH!

1)Currently just planted the tank with DIY pump co2 and planning to buy some shrimp. I understand shrimps will be most happy at around 6.5pH. Is there any other method to lower down pH without using all those chemicals and co2??

2)Is that normal for pH8.0 tap water in PJ area?? How about GH/KH for PJ area?? Anyone knows? Thanks!

Hi, is there anybody using LED light for their planted aquarium?

i am new and don't know whether to buy the T5 flourescent tube or LED light

can LED grow plant properly?

Thank you

anyone had fry in your planted tank? do u actually provide them daphnia,infusoria or brine shrimp for those fry? and by providing those food to your fry, you are putting in dirty water(daphnia,infusoria) and salty water(brine shrimp) into your planted. will this affect the overall system? by the way these food is so small that no way u can miss a single drop of those water into your tank.

i feed brine shrimp to my tiger barb hatch them myself

but my tank not fully planted ... so , so far still ok.. not sure the effect of salty water to fully planted tank..hehe
