I have a very small tank. I think it's about 1 feet plus. It's possible to turn it to planted aquarium? What is the average size of tank required? The costing to set up a small planted aquarium? Maintenance cost and stuff? Can I still keep fishes like guppy inside those aquarium? Thanks.

I wonder what is the average price range to start a planted tank say for 2 ft tank? Is there any planted tank without co2? How about the maintenance?

I had enough of marine tank and will consider having a planted tank once I move back to Damansara. Cause I really dont like to have a marine tank in my small room. Kenot tahan the salt.. =x

you cannot tahan the salt , caused its expensive or what?
well if you play marine tank before, i think fresh water tank should be cheap for you =)

Not because it's expensive. Because it's damn sticky.
Salt all over the tank and lamp and basically everywhere. In a long run I think it will destroy my LCD and other electronic gadgets. Haha..

the salts ill evaporate and ull find the floors sticky ? haha

if u already have tank filter and lights i guess itll be cheaper.. just need to invest in co2 tank soil plants and hardscape.

witout co2 sure no prob. just that plant choices will be limited.

tank - rm50+- for a god 2feet.
filter - EJET canisters would cost rm150
co2 - full set would set u back rm300+- if ur lucky can get cheaper
soil - would need a bag 9L ADA soil rm88
Lights - diy? below rm100
plants - rm50 up to you
wood/rock - rm50 - 100 up to u

do the math lah.

using ur emily's account to troll ah hahahahahahahah
u will turn salty leh

Well I spend whole day last week to DIY a cover with minimum air leakage with vent pulling the air out side. Somehow it worked.
The salt is a major issue. New 2.5 feet tank on the way. Going to collect it this evening. I'm still deciding of having a planted tank thou. But, "EMILY : Planted tank is so boring". Now aku pening kepala dah. Haha.. She forgot to log out when she use my browser. Haha.. Marine tank is so hard to maintain somehow. My LED light above the tank started to oxidized. =x

2.5ft tank need how many kg of sand? also how much is the co2 refill say a small 5 liter tank? Rm300+- inclusive of all other co2 equipment like the bubble counter and stuff? Eh, when you free jom la teman me to the shop and buy. I'm not good in planted tank. =x

Me. I used to have 2 X 6ft tank and 2 X 2ft tank in my room. I keep Arowana, Discus ( Dont know how to spell the real name), Piranha's and Oscar.
The only problem I have is when I want to change the water. Have to really careful or your room will smell like fish market for weeks.
And my room is carpeted. =x
