anyone got the detail of setup step with good quality picture? I see the image is not clear.

basic setup for a good photo setup I might use, manual exposure (SLR or Semi SLR is a must), external flash (Studio flash is an option), f5.6 and above, tripod is compulsory, my 1 cent.... biggrin.gif

oh... I see....
I plant with only holland sand and fertilizer ball
PH stay at 7++, I read that these fish prefer water around 6+ but didn't manage to get it
really should let it run with blank tank for a month before getting fishes sad.gif

added the bottled bacterial
and not expecting any of the tetras will survive till next month

I see they all accusing me from the afterworld bye.gif

it seems u play with chemicals a lots in the first stage... go for nature as long as u can, then start using chemical after your tank is settled down...

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.
*
it should not...but depend on flow style, don't direct to soil..make it flow on surface...

I use Sera Florena Liquid Plant Fertilizer as recommended by NA. just a few drops weekly for my moss and riccia. I also put a layer of base fert below my holland sand. If you use soil, I guess liquid fert will be sufficient. Maybe other Sifu can add some comments.
*
its okay for a few months, u may having a nutrient depleation after that, nutrients are categorized in 2 common types, which is micro and macro, for micro, u can use a few brand in the market such as Sera florena, Seachem Flourish, etc....for macro, it consist of 3 major elements, N=Nitrogen P=phosphorus K=Magnesium (Kalium)..do google for it, i'm using Seachem brand, it's doing well for my tanks...(taikor, do i confused micro and macro...pardon me.... hmm.gif hmm.gif )

Magensium = Mg consider micro/trace elements

is somebody know why my mini riccia turned into normal riccia in term of size? especially on top layer, but it seem nice on bottom layer side. Is that due to high light? Fert?

Happy Chinese New Year everyone...

icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  my SAE is bullying my corydoras & otocinclus during feeding time.

i have a 45l tank (28cm x 30cm). inside i got 1 SAE, 4 ottos, 2 cory & 3 tetra.
my SAE is the biggest & longest (6 to 7 cm) fish in the tank.
only during feeding time, my SAE always chase away other fishes. kesian all my other fishes especially my ottos. (my ottos always hiding behind the ferns)

is this a natural thing? i thought SAE can live with other fishes?

how to solve this problem?

another question, i also plan to put 1 female & 1 male betta into the same tank. is it ok to do that?

another question, can i put also keladi bunting (water hyacinth) in it? my tank is open tank.
*
i think that keladi bunting will block lights to the bottom layer of your tank, and if u got other plants below, they would not receive sufficient light..
