HELLO all. help me in getting some calculation please. my tank is 50cm x 34cm x 34cm. i need a high light for this aquarium. how much watt per gallon do i need and are there 50cm aquazonic light that suitable for my tank? i only happened to find 45cm aquazonic light only. adoi.. how could i get my lighting?huhu. anyone can help?

btw, for those who use ketapang leaf in their tank one, do u take out the leaf when they started to deteriorate ?

my fan direct blow to water can get me 25~27 day&night..no bulky heatsink.

just top up water.

buy 60cm light la

anyone got problem with insects ? i always get dead insects in my tank due to the light...how to prevent besides putting mozzie net ?

THEN, THE STRADER CAN BE ADJUST TO 50CM MEH?I DUNNO LOR..CAN IT BE ADJUSTED?

some light mounts can be adjusted by sliding in or out

for 60cm diff is only 10cm so not so obvious the side sticks out

bonus is when u upgrade to 60cm tank no need change light

or

get a 60cm tank instead

actually t5 50cm got but very hard to find

How much is the diffuser? where do you buy it?

this one come together with the used CO2 tank I bought. Not sure how much. I think some forumer here also selling similar thing.

I use to feed my puffer fish with prawn meat. I thought I can make use of the prawn skin to feed my shrimp.

One of my yamato die near the prawn skin. Another nerita snail go to heaven at same place also. I faster remove the prawn skin and dead body.

No wonder all my shrimp and fishes stay away from that prawn skin when I first put it to my tank.

BTW, where can I find snail. I need to get replacement.

my 55w went ka-poot..
now am using back the 36w..

Freshwater prawn or salt water prawn?

yosh peopleeeeee..!!! hehe..

I'm looking for some weeping moss and spiky moss.
Anyone have it for sale/give (weeping moss, desperately)?
I dont really need so much. Half palm each would be more than sufficient.
I can COD at anytime this Saturday (PJ/Kajang/Bangi area or any area you wanted to if i can find the place).

Also at the same time I'm giving away some Java moss. I have 2 patches of them around 5'x4' size.
No postage, sorry since I'm only giving it out FOC and it's just Java Moss. LOL!!
Can COD at PJ/Kajang/Bangi area if anyone wanted.

My tank attack by floating algae (green water). I had been using the uv light 9w for almost 6 days but the water still cloudy. Any best solution for green water?

UV light usually would helps. But the light itself must be able to penetrate the water depths. I don't just use light for my tank if been bloomed with 'green water'. I always have my UV HOB Filter for that case so the water will flow through the UV lights closely.

Or another way, 'blackout'. hehehe... if u have HC, be ready with it to melt if they're 'weak'. LOL!...

or, 100% WC. superbly ma fan job... take out ur fishes and stuff but it still doesnt guarantee the removal of green water but the success rate still quite high. But with this, there's a chance for green water to come back again sooner or later. *touch wood*

the bottom line is, STOP fertilize ur tank with anything that contains iron.

Something for people that has been battling algae/snail for a while...


please ignore my messy table


Look and feel like SKII bottle. It is made of frosted glass? Each squirt = 0.5ml. According to instruction, 2ml once/twice weekly.

prox, that bba remover might comes in handy once a while.... when excel failed! LOL!!! my most hated algae....

Yea..that's why I have both in hand. I am going to apply it as algae prevention.

UV light is not long term solution, find the cause of it.

Is it that the tank is over stocked with fish? Not enough water change? Direct sunlight hitting the tank? Your photoperiod too long?
