u still need filter.

if u are going for planted tank, u still need to have light and co2 tank(optional - depending the type of plant u want to plant.).

then some decorative stuffs like wood and rock.

finally u can start scaping ur tank. xD


Added on December 28, 2011, 7:50 pm

ya if u need plant let me know too. gonna trim very soon. n i have some java moss too to give away =)

cardinal tetra and neon still not doing so well... the number down to 4 last night.

I think my black neon are stable, the number stay at 5 for few days already. 
I see they chasing each other everyday

didn't feed them for few days and they are eating anything that float it the water xD
I even saw they try to catch mosquito that stop on water surface
but I feel like rescaping now
those plant I having are seriously too big for a 2feet...
lol...

and my java fern turn darkish, guess 55watt for a 50L tank is really too strong for java
sisaiko kor, maybe u are right with the pic 3 too
I think they are mondo grass, definitely not an aquatic plant
hmm... but they does look like "Cyperus helferi"
so i still don't know  tongue.gif

ya, i also dun think it is algae. If I increase the flow rate, will it make the water blur again? I put in the plants when the water still blur. when the dust settle down. it covers the plants. Just afraid by increasing flow rate, will disturb the water again.

What filter u r using?
lily pipe used?
just suck it out while doing WC

rescape with water it it or totally dry out?

eheim 2215 for my 2.5ft. just us the spray bar. no lily pipe.

I put in the plant when the tank is half full.

I will try t suck out during WC. Just afraid the moss kena tarik out of shape.  If I leave it like that, will my plants die?
*
2215 just nice for the tank size...
just clean it up periodcally, it will not kill the plants but a bit irretating

Many thanks Ciohbu SENSEI and BRO AMAFZ...hw to determine the size for TAIYO CF-1200? What brand is good (got brand?) and where can buy cheaper?
*
if not mistaken the inlet size is 16mm and outlet is 12mm
so u need to use 13mm outlet lily pipe and 17mm inlet lily pipe....
usually the cheap lilies sell in pair....but u can try to check ANS brand....but the glass to thin, brake couple of it b4....
i hv CADE in stock but unfortunately in sell in pair set....

consider GUSH, is no too cheap n not expensive as well, so so but the glass also good.....
but currently im using BW...the glass resistance very good....drop couple of time already, hit my tank while it loose from suction cup during off light aeration...

for the hose u can simply find it any hrdware shop....ACE hardware sell the size for those in n out....but u can try any LHS(local hardware shop) cheaper...

i'm actually quite blur in this area

how do you know if u need to dose N,P or K ?

N & P can get from fish waste, so only need to dose K ?

I understand plants also need a lot of iron. so does supplement like seachem iron ?

in summary

does K, iron n all-in-one-micro ?
*
K need to supply since it will not stay in ur water tank....thats why fert in market selling K...ADA brighty K, BW essense K, Super K, Seachem potassium

iron needed for stronger roots n stems....and it also make red plant redder...
usually i supply it at root base by using BW boost A....ADA also got...iron bottom....but i prefer boost A, result good n cheaper...
so i no need to supply iron so frequent....but time by time i use Azoo solid iron....
one of my fren using his wife pregnancy med....its contain iron....u can try if u want...

iron cant be mixed with other trace in 1 bottle, thats y they sell seperately...its not result a chemical reaction, it just make ur fertilizer dregs....

bro, u can refer Book of ADA for more details about fert....

the CADE that you refer, easy break mou leh? or any other u sell which is better>? how much u sell? <-pm me ya
regarding to the hose, once i use lily, can maitain the green or need to get a transparent (white)?
still dun understand about the fertz leh..2months ago, when i lay my soil, i did have the 5 elements. May i knw when i need to have the fertz, n wht i shld buy?

sensei, please advise
*
CADE r better than ANS....the only thing is the outlet openning too small compare to GUSH, BW or ADA
u can use the green color hose...no issue...but i think it not blend with lilies n tank, but its my personal pov huhu...

5 elements actually is not fertilizer, it just to make ur tank mature faster...n maintain long lifespan of ur soil n BB
even amano during his talk in KL say this is not mandatory...but if u hv no patient...just use it...

u need K since day 1 or 2 actually....then follow by trace week or 2 later...
but if ur tank in good condition, mean the plants are growing nicely...u dont hv to supply too much fert....use plant as indicator....

p.s: pmed ur the lilies price.... smile.gif
