your friends mabuk or thought red wine can make your crs more color shine??

i noticed my 1st planted tank with CO2 system got no snail, but my second tank (low tech, only lighting, no CO2, no filter), snail started spreading after I moved some plants from my 1st tank.

Is it good CO2 system can control snail problem?

But strange thing is I didn't see any snail in my 1st tank, they then appear in the container where i temporary kept my extra riccia. I also wonder why they appear in that small container after a few days.

Hi, how often do you guys clean up your Eheim. I start using Eheim 2215 for my 2x1 tank about 3 months ago, haven't do any clean up and found there are many algae ay yhe outflow tube as well as the entire green tube.

What shall I do to clean them up? Please give your advise, I'm newbie in planted tank...

what is the cause of the BBA?

thanks for your suggestion. I'll try tomorrow.

btw, how often you open up your eheim and clean the sponge?

another thing is that I think my eheim got always got air inside. because once a while, some air is blown out. When i tap the filter body, more air is blown out. Then ok. but it happen again after 1-2 days.

it is very silent most of the time, but suddenly got 1 sound like air flowing in pipe, then silent again for long time.

when i tap the side of the filter to softly rock it, then got bubble some out.

no any connection at inlet. could it be excessive O2 or CO2 in the tank trap in the filter media?

i put mosquito net at inlet to prevent my RCS from sucking into the filter. Sometimes the net is covered by floating riccia.

Yes, using glass co2 diffuser and it is very close to inlet. Got problem with that setup?

the both inlet and outlet double taps are fully open.

alright, gotta change feng shui tomorrow.

hi, what actually cause the planted yellowish? recently my moss and other plants look a bit yellowish. I have 2x1x1 tank, with Eheim 2215, light PLL55w, CO2 30 bubble/min.




I put in my Pellia (is it right?) from my low tech tank, which got only 18w light and no CO2 system. This Pellia was in low tech tank for more than 3 weeks already. the color still dark green... the one in CO2 tank look yellowish.


What is the problem? water? fert?

I went to berjaya hill today jalan-jalan and found this species at jungle tracking place. Are they Fissiden? Is it possible to transform them into aqua plant when they are growing on rock undershade?

If I manage to make them grow in water, I'll give u some...

btw, are they require strong light and CO2 to grow?

my 3kg CO2 tank used for nearly 4 mths, now left 200psi (touching red zone) shown in the regulator. do i need to wait until totally finish (0psi) only refilll?

roughly how long more use with the 200psi, my usage is 1bps 24 hours.

freestyler87, yr 5kg can last 1year+, u use solenoid? mine manual regulator, open 24hrs...

just refilled my 2kg tank at Tmn Sg Besi for RM10. Filling done within 5 min. they said 5kg tank cost RM20.
