anybody know which LFS carry frozen daphnia?

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?

Prox,
how much would that thing cost?

Fresh water prawn.

@weijie - About 90-100. It is concentrated liquid so 1 bottle probably can last about a year.

4ml weekly - assuming you dose maximum twice weekly
4ml x 52 weeks= 208ml

Each bottle is ~200ml.

I have fert too and going to try it out soon. Doesn't require daily dosing like many other brands. Suitable for lazy people like me..

hmmm... so it would be cheaper compare to other brand as you said.
any idea what kind of fert is best for red color plants? ADA iron bottom? BW vivid? which one you had tested so far giving best effect?

prox, where did u get those? might be interested to have the BBA remover just in case. heh..

@usermode - For the time being, I have few bottles extra and it is available through me. If you need I can post it over to you.

@weiji - I did not have any red plant to try it out. You will need strong lighting too to bring out the vivid red color from red plant. BW Vivid is able to boost red according to what I am being told from a person that use it.

As for now, I have G Series fertilizer that is specifically design to boost red color. Please let me know if you want to test it out and share the result. Very limited quantity because I am testing it out too but not going to test the red one.

I have been using BW for a year and i can vouch that it works. In fact, I like it more than ADA. Cheaper and effective.

fins and greens OUG

oh... order thru u ah? hehe.. ok la. can also... but not now la. hehehe.. my tank is still algae free (for the moment... crossfingers) at least. maybe next month after CNY lor.. spare a bottle for me for next month.

heh... btw, have u tested it personally? how efficient it is? does this brand have anything to prevent (not stopping) GSA as well?

I trust algae destroyer will be able to take care of normal algae (GDA/GSA/Hair Algae..etc). Tough algae like BBA require BBA Remover.

I don't have any algae in my tank to test it out so I will get a friend to try it. I have been using BW Growth to surpress algae and it seems working. My tank is free of algae (except very minor gda) for the past 1 year.

Have some faith.

@weijie - according to calculation, this product should be cheaper since it requires lesser dosage and frequency.

hihi,

so long din update myself here.

I need sifu advise here.

I plan to buy lily. But which brand is better and is market? I am not aiming for branding, bt for long term ussage, and not expensive. I am usinf Taiyo cf1200 for my 2 feet tank. Where to buy a cheap lily pipe?
(i dont know which size to buy..still very new)

Where to get a cheap and nice driftwood? EastAqua v expensive

Please advise ler..

if got any seller here, pm me ya.

tq a lot ^^

- I think im gonna change my mind. do u still have the snail killer? LOL!!! i might be needing that after CNY instead.


lily pipe... hurm, you can go for CADE as for medium range (low end one.... i never see any lily pipe below RM100 anyway). CADE so far is quite okay in its pricing and doesnt make much difference in the water flow but of course got difference but slightly if you're comparing with higher end lily pipe like ADA. Anyway, if it;s not higher end, brand doesnt really matter actually IMO. just go for it if you can afford the price offered. the built still will not be as bad as the plastic cheapo green color lily and won't be as good as ADA.

size to buy, depends on your filter hose (and chiller hose if you have any). usually there'll be 2 size only. but if you;re unsure, cut the tip of your hose about 1 cm only, and bring it to shop and when buying the lily pipe, you can test if its fit. You can try 88 Petsmart near the new Murni restaurant at PJ. If i'm not mistaken, they have a slight promotion on their lily pipe currently.

Cheap and nice driftwood? err... no such thing. LOL!!! .. if it's cheap, it wont be nice and vice versa unless you bring your lucky charm when u go out for shopping. East Aqua price have no much difference with another shops if you're looking for the same type of wood (bogwood will be cheap.. but i dont think u want it). the price differs around RM1-3 bucks only because that's the market price.

My advise, for long term... starting from now, u better find at least one LFS that have the most thing u ever needed, then stick with them as much as possible. get to know them and their staff (bosses better) and get close with them. then u might get "a little bit" cheaper price in future if they bring in new woods or any other stuff. if they got membership card, join! it does pays off ...

Or another suggestion, hunt the wood urself. go into swamp and cut them off urself. seriously... no kidding. u can get nice woods and FOC. just a lil bit effort. or, go to the seaside village and pray that someone got a nice driftwood as their collection for home decor and ask them to sell to you. hahahaha...!!! and this one is no kidding either. i did this before... and got one SUPER BIG chump of branchy driftwood just for RM50 ... just need to cut them by meself to make it smaller pieces. heh... it's still worth.

@usemode,

Thanks a lot for your fruitful answer. I guess i will have to go forward with ADA brand already.

I wonder, Jalan Pasar aquarium shop really cheaper in price compared to 88 and EAqua?
