Dear fiona;

Here r my suggestions:
1. put 1 bag of power sand type "S" at lowest level
(u can ask Michanz for advice too)
2. put 1 bag of 9L of Amazonia (rough) soil. If u can't get Amazonia, put Malaya soil
(additional step: u can put 4 pieces of Root Power after adding ur soil, a type of fertilizer that help ur plants rootgrow healthier)
3. put 1 bag of 3L Amazonia (fine) soil. If u can't get Amazonia, put Malaya (fine) soil ((only u feel necessary)
4.don't put ur fish for the same day u're putting ur plants, after u fill in the water into ur tank
5. how to fill the water? U can ask ur friend helps u or put a plastic on top of ur soil until 20% of ur tank full. This would help u for not making ur water murky.
6. plant ur water plant by the help of long forseps (more easier)
7. repeat step 5, until u tank fully filled
8. setup ur 2L Co2 (cylinder) with the accessories, such as regulator, bubble counter, check valve, & diffuser
9. u can start switch on ur light & Co2 tomorrow (the next day) after u finished step 1 to 8. Be sure that ur filter (canister filter) is running all the time
**For the first week, please switch on ur light & Co2 for 5 hours per day only. It's to reduce ur plants & tank from getting algae problems**
**Please plan ur tank with the water plants species, some need colder water temperature & more density of light**

After 1 week, u can put ur fish like Molly, Guppy, Neon Tetra, Cardinal Tetra, etc. Of course, u can switch on 8 hours per day for ur light & Co2.
To ensure ur Co2 & light switch on automatically for 8 hours everyday, u can setup ur Co2 by using electrical regulator & with the help of timer.

Hope these steps can help u.


p/s: if only u feel my suggestions confusing, u can refer to the expert that u think u can understand well
hehehe

I see.... cause i thought she said it was newly setup

Good luck

even that isn't a good scape, but i still feel i like it very much

congratulations with ur new born shrimp

i wonder where is nezumitaro now?
if she has set up a new nano planted tank again or rescape it....

I've kept cory before... but my cory only last for 3 mths after buying.
I bought another 4 corydoras again, and the same thing happen.

Is that different types of cory need different water condition?

I actually kept albino cory & green cory before
@,@

thanks for sharing the video... i saw that this fella keeping angel fish & tiger barb in the tank..
later the tetras & rainbow fish by wacked by them lol

No... I don't.
But i just hope that someone would tell me why... Cause my tank water temperature is 28 to 30 degree, & i never test for my water pH.
Perhaps.... is this the reason?

Hmm.... it's interesting to have plants in an Arowana tank.
Hope u can get bigger tank such 5ft X 2ft X 2ft, and put plants also
ur plants turn a bit yellowish because u're using sands & less CO2, perhaps it is ur light problems...

My latest update for my tank.












Still thinking to add more plants (java ferns or nana) as i only putting 2 pcs of CO2 Tablets per day, which i know that it's not suitable to put plants like carpet or glossotigma.
Hahahaha....

Hehehe... my tank is very simple one (3ft X 1.5ft X 1.5ft) bought about a year ago...
4 months ago, i used to put other plants (not java moss & java fern)
But the plants died within few months (perhaps 2 months)

Please refer to this link:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set...&type=1&theater

I stopped for a month & put the new plants as what i have now, my java moss (some of it) turn brown before i putting CO2 tablets.
Since i am new with planted tank, (i actually don't know how to tie the moss on the rocks & wood) i'm putting my moss under my driftwood & rocks.
Water temperature is very high, average 29 degree celcius, pH unknown cause i never test my water
I do WC once every 2 or 3 weeks, and change my filter wool once a month.

Yes, i know the plants i put in my tank is low maintenance... but i just want to keep them longer (not only for few months), therefore i try to put CO2 tablets for my tank

Don't worry, i won't put glosso as i know my water condition is not suitable for this kind of plants as it's too hot.

Freestyler, u miss out the CO2 accessories such as bubble counter, check valve, diffuser, & regulator. the items for a full set of CO2 might cost u RM700++ (including the accessories)

i agree with Radver opinion, at least u let us know ur affordable budget.... we will recommend some stuff for u

cause i quoted him/ her with electronic (automatic) regulator..... he/ she doesn't have to adjust so many times lol
wakaka

What model for ur eheim filter? how many litres per hours (i mean water flow rate)? 3ft Tank.... maybe u should get Eheim classic 2215.
Soils... u need at least 9L of Africana (now Amazonia no stock) for 3 bags & another 1 bag for soft soils (same Africana) for u to plant front ground plants.
CO2 1 litres? i think u would only used for a month, then u have to go for refill...

But it's ok for u to try.... at ur nano tank.
Good Luck
