QUOTE(SweetPuff @ Jan 18 2011, 03:43 PM) How much space you can accomodate? With that budget, you'll only have the option for either a low-tech 1ft or 2ft tank with plants like ferns, moss, marsilea or sagitaria subulata. have alot experience with fishes but not plant...it is more complicated than rearing fish?heard that I need a very good filter and co2 pump...how much is the most affordable co2 in market? thanks For a complete beginner, best you go for a 2ft. It's easier. QUOTE(Oxburg @ Jan 18 2011, 05:30 PM) I tried to buy some plant that cost me rm2 each one and die after a week like that =( I think i am going to have a 2 feet aquarium , how was the maintenance ? need change water every week ? with rm200 what should I get for? thanks |

QUOTE(radver @ Jan 18 2011, 09:39 PM) Since you've rear fish before, why don't you list down the gears you have and we'll tell you which one can be reused and which need to buy new. thanks The plant die cause no fertilizer... I gave away the tank last time so got nothing now QUOTE(SweetPuff @ Jan 19 2011, 10:19 AM) +1 thanks With a RM200 budget, you'll definitely won't be getting a CO2 tank. Do list down your current equiptment. Your plants died most probably because you didn't have the right lights, water temperature or even fertilization. I already plan to DIY myself the co2 QUOTE(Superdude @ Jan 19 2011, 11:02 AM) my suggestion any suggestion shop near setapak area? rm50 - nano tank rm20 - light, go to light shop ask for PLL light with 10000 lm rm30 - Sand. Let assume rm5.00 per pack. you need at least 5 packs. Don't worry about sand. Some plant can live good with sand. rm10 - you can buy some fishes from jalan pasar, Pudu. Guppy is cheaper.It is about around rm1.00 each. Aquarium plant -------------------------- Egeria densa - about rm2.00 per pack. Vallisneria americana var. asiatica - about rm3.00 per pack Anubias barteri var. nana - about rm10.00 depend on the size. Moss is about rm10 per pack. For aquarium plant , you can refer to this web site http://www.tropica.com/plants/difficulty/easy.aspx DIY Co2 -------------- 1.5l 100plus or coke bottle. (FOC. just ask around) yeast - rm0.89 per pack sugar - rm2.00 per pack tube rm0.50 per foot. you can get from hardware shop Co2 diffuser about rm18.00 Go get DC computer fan from computer shop. Blow your aquarium tank surface to bring down the water temperature. where to get the co2 diffuser? I live at condo and normally my place is very cold , but let me know the temperature of water needed for planted aquarium.. thanks again for your reply |
