QUOTE(usermode @ Feb 14 2012, 11:02 AM) - hahaha... that's what i do for my both 1.5ft tank. use 3ft lights  can get more lights also.. hu hu uh!!! - and the only things i always looking for at waterfall are mosses (and plants if im lucky). oh, btw weijie bro... let me know if u want to borrow my UV filter for ur tank if u still dont have any. It's an old UV filter (1 year+ ) but just being used once for 3-4 days. i think the bulb still okay since not used. hehehhe, can borrow kah? because i also planning to use it for few days only, not really worth it if i buy a brand new light. after water has cleared then it will be go back into storeroom. lol ~ |

it is very dangerous if you are buying the plants directly from commercial farm.
although it is cheaper, but dont take the risk.
Whole population might wipe out over night.

oh.. haha. i seldom buy from local fish shop geh.
the only place i buy my plants is NA ss19. other shops i dont trust them.
if possible then just buy from other planted tank hobbyist.
P.S.: do not buy from AquaShop in Lelong. i had bad experience dealing with them.

Kimimaro_kun, usermode: Confirm with the seller if the plants are grown in submerge first before buying. I brought downoi from him before and it melts right after i plant. Luckily it splits 2 branches out and that 2 babies growing very very tall like coconut tree (about 6inch when i tak tahan and cut it down last week)  |

what about DIY lily pipes? cant find any store selling acrylic tube or clear high grade plastic tube near subang, care to point me where?. got no heat gun, but I have very big tank torch gun, can i use that?
also, i see potential usage of laboratory apparatus as a substitute for those kickass ADA lily pipes, but the the shape will be a bit different than normal..what do you all think?  i agree with kimimaro, suction cup is not reliable at all. it will fails you in no time. Pakutekan did some DIY lily pipe before this, maybe you can ask his opinion.

Eheim has very simple steps to install and maintain. and the parts will last very very long if you read user manual properly before using it. i would not go against if anyone wants to try EJET or JEBO. |

QUOTE(ayyam @ Feb 24 2012, 03:20 PM) I think it depends on luck and how u take care of it. My jebo 835 is quite silent and working for a few years now, and my new eheim 2213 is quite noisy but it is working well. are you install it correctly? i have 3 Eheim canister, i have to touch it to know if it is running or not. |

QUOTE(kimimaro_kun @ Feb 26 2012, 10:04 AM)  i'm afraid of height.. LOL normal meh like then. guys, usually when u reshape ur tank, do u remove all the fauna? izzit ok if i just topup the soil w/o take the fishes?? thx  can you do renovation (knocking and drilling walls, removing floor ties) at living room while your family is watching tv?
Added on February 26, 2012, 2:04 pmQUOTE(LuQEE @ Feb 26 2012, 01:09 PM) yeah..sifu can we do that? im thinking of adding soil to my tank too, just a thin 1-3cm layer of soil above the main gravel base?
should we cabut all the plants and bunkus all the fishes? you can do it without removing plants, but fishes will die if you left them like that. This post has been edited by weijie: Feb 26 2012, 02:04 PM |

but can they survive without soil? my substrate are jsut small pieces of sand+rocks(lfs cheap gravel+pasir sungai hehe) most carpet plants need soil. if you using liquid nutrient to replace soil, it will burn a hole in your pocket in long run. |

bad planning already..
but i heard riccia is a floating type plant, so they dont neccesary require soil right?
any advice? gonna tie them to mesh btw~ 
yes, riccia dont need any soil to grow. yeps, you can tie them with mesh. and you would need to trim it every week, or soon they will be floating everywhere and growing everywhere (thats what happened to my tank currently) QUOTE(gorillaz_113 @ Feb 28 2012, 10:13 AM) i m using orista CO2 0.5L set kit and my bps is just around 1 bubble per 2-3 second 12 hour daily. Seem like 2-3 week CO2 used up Aluminum tank co2 finish very very fast. i strongly not recommend any ppl to use it. My steel 6kg tank can last 8months, with 5bps 8hours daily. |

Correct me if i am wrong,
0.52L is the volume inside the aluminum tank.
what i notice is some fish shop refill it to 800psi, some 1000psi.
IMHO, gas occupies all given area, so it has great difference of amount of gas requires to fill up 0.52L area with 800psi pressure and 1000psi. (sorry my science sucks and my explanation is bad).

QUOTE(LuQEE @ Feb 28 2012, 04:43 PM) i just put xtra air pump to stabalize the co2 & o2 level in my tank,
dunno help or not...but if according to theory, it works..lol QUOTE(cute_miao @ Feb 28 2012, 04:46 PM) if cannister only? cannot hor based on ur theory? any suggestion? put air stone after light period. so you dont need to remove the co2 diffuser. you can get timer to on/off your air pump from those electrical department of jusco/giant/DIY shops. cost about Rm15 cute_miao, you can put the air stone at bottom of outlet hose. water flow will push the air bubble and spread throughout your aquarium LuQEE, once you get the correct amount of DIY co2 ingredient for correct bps, you should not use air stone during light is on. you can try with the method i mentioned above This post has been edited by weijie: Feb 28 2012, 05:08 PM |

QUOTE(cute_miao @ Feb 28 2012, 05:58 PM) Nanti mintak help ya..how to put the air stone in cannister outlet. Put it the bottom hose or the place water flow out frm the green batang? lol, it is not that complicated. just buy any air stone will do, blue color/ grey color/ whatever color/ some even made from bamboo, as long as it makes the air bubble smaller then ok. place the air stone, INSIDE your aquarium, right below of your outlet hose of canister.
