LFS said water too cold 25-28' will giv the fish white spots.
How to counter this problem? Now my sword tails have whites on them. Put medication?

Genielee:
HC need high light and co2

White spot normally we put blue tonic potion. But you cant do it inside your aquarium.
Find another place to quarantine the fish and treat with medic.
I don't think cold water is the cause. I keep guppy at 27C

Google for itch on fish

HC can be grown immerse & submerse but pls beware buying submerse HC,when u direct put it into immerse state, HC will try to adapt to the environment and you will encounter alot of melting.

try to get fresh immerse HC to avoid this and also provide plenty of light & co2

i just cut some plants. stem plant with rounded leaves.
And i don't know how to arrange, it's like coconut tree arrangement for now.Looks very ugly. I think i just make the scape worse. Need more soil!!!

there is no shortcut in planted tank ... lolx

Maybe i can let them be ugly for now? Till the roots set? A month enough kah? Java fern also need soil? Or gravel also can? Ferns are for background?

for java fern, no need to bury in soil.. tie it to wood or rock.. if u bury, it will die

if u wan smaller one, can get mini java fern

a pot for rm10 is big or small fern?

if didnt mention mini, should be normal one..

dw sometime need to depends on luck .. haha.. i still finding too

pll 55w *2 is on the way. Will it be low light, medium light or hi-light for a 2 ft? So pek chek in scaping. No idea how to design.

high light tank usually have > 3watt per gallon.. so depends on ur tank volume

high light tank usually need co2, if no u can't control the algae

My amano shrimp died on me. Not enough food perhaps? Too much chlorine? My 2 cardinal tetras are doing just fine.

If algae came out can just use oto and yamato control?
Sakura shrimps easy or difficult to keep? Mine still alive, will die on me after a month or so kah?

why u wanna invite algae in the first place ? lolx

coz dont hv co2 mah~~ diy also later lazy buat.
when u gonna import the diy gadget?
