I soaked the used soil in water. the water color like kopi O. and can see a layer of black color thing floating. Is it normal? how to make the water crystal clear again? wash many many times? or put into the tank, fill with water, the run the filter to clear it?

Merry Christmas to all

welcome 2012. Happy new year to all.

I just set up a new tank 2 days ago. Now the water getting clear. But my plants seems like cover with dirt. Shall I clean them and how to do it?

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.

eheim 2215 for my 2.5ft. just us the spray bar. no lily pipe.

I put in the plant when the tank is half full.

I will try t suck out during WC. Just afraid the moss kena tarik out of shape. If I leave it like that, will my plants die?

hi, anybody replace their T5HO? my aging 2ft light looks deem. Place to replace them. But LFS sell very expensive. How much they sell in light shop? mine is 24Wx3. any specific kelvin when i ask the light shop?

how big can a flying fox grow? I have a 4-5in long in my 2.5ft. Always sweep the soil when it rests on the floor.

Wow, my flying fox bigger than 3in. I gotta let her go before she botak all my moss.

My 2ft T5 not bright already. Thinking of replace it. what is the price T5 in light shop? I went to a few light shop, their 2ft 840 only 14w each. can use ah?

or need to get 24w and 6500K. Very difficult to find in light shop. Any lubang? what is the average price for each?

RM20 is LSH price or light shop price?

yesterday i saw a light shop beside jusco cheras selatan got PLL55w. but not sure whether they are 10000k or not. the chop name is CIMA.

Paku, I also searching for PLL replacement. Mind to tell me where in Setia alam/ kota kemuning that u found the 10000k PLL?

Prox, where can I find this Geisemann T5HO? price range? How long can it last? My tank is 2.5ft and I have a 24Wx3 t5 casing. enough light? Now my moss and pelia color very dull, dun know due to dirt settlement or due to insufficient lighting.

I just broke my glass diffuser... damn fragile! Now I want to use inline diffuser. Just need some advise before put it on.

Shall I put it near the outlet hose after the double valve of 2215?

Is it save in term of water backflow to bubble counter and CO2 tank when i shut off the CO2 tank or when CO2 tank empty? will the water in the canister hose flow through the ceramic?

Can normal transparent air hose be used or I need the pressurized air hose?

My diffuser look like this
