guys,

wanna check. does the eheim 2213 comes with elbow connectors ? Mine don't.
*
it does but doesn't look like that 90 degree elbow, more of a U-bend.

Problem is i heard otto might not be able to help... and some of my fish like CAE and rasbora might either cause stress or kill it.....

CAE tens to be aggressive as they grows, get SAE is much better and safer.....

to overcome algae, one of the best defence i prefered is SAE + otto + yamato shrimp. they will do their job just fine and effective though a bit slow. anyway, u can put more of them to clean it faster, if u pay attention enough to them, u can even notice they excrete green feces (all day algae feast i guess) rclxms.gif

wahhh.. i think i know who tis guy is la

btw i also have algae problem. hairy algae can be seen on leaf and stem.

i've dump in 3 amano, 1 otto and one SAE. hopefully they can clear it up

wats the diff between CAE, SAE n flying fox ? they look the same to me ?

I also have a snail problem in my shrimp tank courtesy of the lsh i think

realise the lfs kept snails together with the shrimp

should i let it grow to pick on them ?
*
yes, u can refer to chiobu post to differentiate SAE from CAE. it depends on how big your tank, mine is 2.5ft, i kept 5 otto and SAE each and bout 10 yamato, difficult to keep track of yamato though. at least i notice significant differnce in the algae that grows in my tank.

hi all, just a question here, is Nutrafin Cycle the same as ADA bacter 100 or bacter ball? or Nutrafin cycle's bacteria for fauna while ADA's bacteria are for flora?

wei jie,

how do you spot planaria in aquarium tank. planaria isn't like something very small that cannot be seen by human eyes?

and does it brings harm to the lifestock?

Lol, very easy to make only using instant yeast and sugar.
but you need to make the solution every week.
It is very small white color worms that dashing among my moss.
it will attack your shrimps when they are molting.
fish take them as snacks. too bad my cherry army took out whole population of guppy.
now padan muka them being attacked  sweat.gif

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?
*
actually u can just leave it, it will clear up eventually. got any pic to see? cause usually will not have dirt floating unless ur substrates are too fine.
