i tot nerite is zebra snail ? the one in ur photo looks like horn snail. nerite leave unsighty white eggs all over the tank and difficult to remove ?

zebra and horned are actually a species of nerite snail their egg will not hatch in fresh water, unlike normal snail... thus won't take over ur tank from ur fish or shrimp

Added on December 15, 2011, 9:59 pmYes bro Weijie, did that way, but i'm using wife's cup instead of white cardpboard...its yellow-green with water from aquarium tank, green-blue with tap water, looks the tester chemical is doing fine, my concern is, why the indicator doesn't change in color after i put it into mop pail filled with tap water

Weijie, do u have Amazonia 9L powder type in stock? PM me the price

yupe.. i usually refill there too.. but the thing is ... need to drive very far..

. hey, what's the plant on the right? where you get it?

myak9:
your are keeping Highback golden with planted tank right?
is the liquid fertilizers give bad effect of ARO scale or fins?
You are using excel to replace pressurize co2?

I'm not sure what plant it is, got it from Mid Valley They didnt label their plants. I think it was RM10 for a small pot of it

anybody use recycled or second hand amazonia before? recently I bought some second hand amazonia from a forumer. he abandoned the tank for few months already.

Any treatment shall i do before putting the soil into a new tank? how long shall I cycle the water?

I currently have a 1 year old 2ft planted tank. Can I re-use the water from water change into the new tank?

from a noob POV after hearing from lfs

used soil may cloud ur water. u either wait till it settle down or dry the soil b4 use

u can use water from ur old tank to quicken the cycle process

what actually is the purpose for cycling the water? I heard it is to remove the ammonia in the new soil. But I'm going to use old soil. still need to cycle the water before putting in fauna and flora.

My first time using soil. my first tank is using sand only. so i have no experience on soil.
