Algea is common for glosso
I had remove all glosso when doing rescape
Now playing with HC

Tyja:
Make yourself. Around 300 confirm can get

Lol.
Don't worry. Even I do my cabinet myself.
Tonight will post a picture to you. Haha
Use HC ! I love their super slow growing speed lol

Zipa:
I used to keep guppy and tetras in same tank.
They can live tgt. But if you plan to breed guppy, then can't put tetras
They will eat baby guppy once they are born

You can't compare mic brand with EHEIM Because they are so much diff in price and quality
IMHO, budget wise go for MIC.
If you want long term then EHEIM.
I m using 2 EHEIM in my sleeping room. But they nevEr generate any noise even at midnight
try get second hand eheim if you found trusted seller.
There is one second hand aquarium equipment dealer in LYN street mart pet shop but I not stastisfy with his service ><

Chiller price is between 1k - 1.3k for hailea 150a or resun (I not sure which model)
Their power consumption and quality is diff
Don't just look at the purchase price because electricity bill and maintainance will cause you more
Try google more forums related to chiller (widely used in marine tank)

Rm850 for new or used?
Higher power= cooling faster << BUT highly dependent on your compressor efficiency
Rated power is for during cooling process. So if your water is cold enough, compressor stop = much less power consumed
as what I know, chiller doesn't have internal pump
So if your input water too fast, chiller not able to cool water down then water already go back to tank. So not much efficient
Hailea 150a is only suitable up to 3feet
If you planning for future use, pls go higher power

Inject too much your fish will die
I put half cap then all my shrimps mabuk d

What you selling ?
I looking for second hand solenoid and fine tune valve for co2

I agree with freestyler
If by cooling the tank can make you input more gas, then you will get higher pressure
Those tank that we using has standard psi to avoid accidents
I think that LFS got no idea what he talking about
Lol

It's time to change new solenoid XD

As consumer, of course we want a cheapest price with best quality
But salesman are selling products to support their family as well
As long as cost and product price is not 50% or more, I will consider it as OK

Recommended price is to avoid LFS from overcharging the consumers.
ADA wanted to protect their product quality and company name
But some LFS don't apply such high profit margin so they sell lower price
I think cost price for whole Malaysia is same for every LFS
Just depending they want to earn more(higher price with less quantity sold) or earn by (less earning but large volume sold)

Tyja:
You just finish setup?
Let the tank stable first before adding in shrimps
For Otto or SAE just add them straight

Yamato is digging up my newly plant HC

Golden algea eater is not same as chinese algea eater
As known as golden, it is pink/white in color. Some shop call it as albino algea eater

Chinese algea eater, Siamese algea eater, flying fox is like 3twin brothers
They looked almost alike
Try google for more information
I can put up an article about how to diff them if you guys wants

It seems growing upwards in stead of doing carpet on your soil?

There are one member looking for aquarium cabinet right?
Who d ya?

Mist theory is correct as what ciohbu say
Can I know the reason you set till 25C? Your plant love this temp but it will kill your electricity bill
Yes, hailea will start the compressor once it sense temp reach 26, then stop after cool to 25C

I think you need to check your chiller thermostat
If you set to 27, compressor will only run till 27.0
You are saying that even when you set to 27C, the chiller will run till 24.7C?
The reading is from chiller or external thermometer?

Nopes
It should had stop at 26.0
It seems that there is some wiring prob with your chiller
Thermostats reading is correct but it is unable to stop after reaching correct temp
The temp stop at 24.7C because it is the max chilling capability of your hailea (I guess)
I currently using 2215 with hailea 150a. Temp set 27C. So far so good

20inch cube
Small tank only
