my fren done it for me....he has master in aqua bio
so this tank more for experimenting....DIY fert, DIY liq carbon n LED
so far the flora(JHG) & fauna(ember tetra, brigattae n shrimps r surviving)

no plan to sell it since it still under testing...perhaps later...

p.s: the DIY liquid carbon very high concetration.....its 99% chemical n 1%water....vice versa in the market liquid carbon....

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

Hahaha.. Thanks for the advice bro. I'm looking forward to get those 3 "legendary helper" but it seems all the LFS i went either not selling or need to book.... not to mention they don't know when the stock will arrive. It is like so near yet so far..... still haven't been to AI yet... went to few LFS around Jalan Sungai Buloh but all of them not selling any of them or sold out..
Also the green spot algae seem to stuck on my mirror... can't come out after using credit card... might need to use razor blade... hehehe

my SAE seems to be swimming more than eating

55w PL vs 48w T5, which is better

Whats the market price for aquazonic 55w PL and aquazonic 24x2 t5, both 2 feet ?

hmmm.. bba could be caused by dirty filter too smile.gif

i think unstable co2 is referring to the amount u supplying when u on your light, make sure its enough for your plants but not too much to kill ur fauna

light ON + little co2 = algae partying, light ON + too much co2 = fauna pengsanĀ  rclxub.gif

co2 indicator in tank should show green or green yellowish
*
my co2 indicator is green yellowish

in the morning the green is darker

so i increase my co2 up to point b4 my fish pengsan ?

dun think it's dirty filter coz i juz dump in a new 2213 last week

i did not rinse the media too...so far ok no cloudy water as someone experienced

ram snail will reproduce by itself.. so one day ur tank will explode with snail if u didnt control them smile.gif

anybody use recycled or second hand amazonia before? recently I bought some second hand amazonia from a forumer. he abandoned the tank for few months already.

Any treatment shall i do before putting the soil into a new tank? how long shall I cycle the water?

I currently have a 1 year old 2ft planted tank. Can I re-use the water from water change into the new tank?
*
from a noob POV after hearing from lfs

used soil may cloud ur water. u either wait till it settle down or dry the soil b4 use

u can use water from ur old tank to quicken the cycle process

what actually is the purpose for cycling the water? I heard it is to remove the ammonia in the new soil. But I'm going to use old soil. still need to cycle the water before putting in fauna and flora.

My first time using soil. my first tank is using sand only. so i have no experience on soil.
*
Cycling for enuf bacteria to grow.

Plants can go in immediately

Fish better wait a week or longer better

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?  hmm.gif wash many many times? or put into the tank, fill with water, the run the filter to clear it?
*
Dun think u need to wash the soil. Let it settle down n some wc. Takes time. Other alternative is cover it with new soil

Fish shop in bdr utama centerpoint still open ?

nice tank

wanna ask. if the rocks is covered with algae, some will remove the rocks to clean them. in your case removing the rocks will mess up ur white sand and may need to do some minor rescape when putting back the rocks... true ?

i've an algae problem in one of my tank. I've switched the filter to a smaller filter and plan to use this filter on a new tank. Do you think the algae spores will survive in the filter media and spread to my new tank ?
