Must have tactic geh.
My way: slowly poison her with planted tank. Buy her 2feet tank with some guppies. Slowly introduce her to plants. Next time she will ask you go fish shop instead fashion house smile.gif

The philips will drain all your $$$ the electricity bill expensive laaa... if this light better buy the LED ones almost same price but wont waste $$$
*
yeps. MH will definitely burn a big hole in your electrical bill. and it create too much heat. unless your aquarium has chiller or 24/7 air con, i would not recommend to use this light. By the way, changing MH bulb is not cheap either.

calculate your aquarium water volume, then use 1watt light per 1 liter water.
if you are not sure how to calculate, can get the calculator link from my wordpress website.

normally is very very low. you would need to get 1W or 3W or 10W LED light from jalan pasar.
and you would need to use heat sink and LED driver to run it.
if you are not good in wiring or electronic stuff, use back those light set from planted tank shop.

how long would u suggest me to on the lights ar? n how if i on the lights as u proposed, the pelia will survive back mou?

i feel to hit u liao lo...cz my pipes need to wait..mayb need to ask u pinjam ur :pipe"
*
hmm... hmm... i really cant recall where we deal neh~
hahaha
what does matters now is the power of your light, if it is about 55w, then 6-7hours daily shouldn't give you any problem.

i also dont expect the supplier runs of stock. Other source is quite expensive so i dont want take from them.
Some stuffs like lily pipes and solenoid is very fast moving because i selling very cheap, i always sell out of stock and client chase me geh sweat.gif

Please can anybody tell me how to trim the thick glosso? My glosso grow very fast and already multiple level.
*
trim them using curved scissors until bottom layer, some leaves might died but after that will grow back.
glosso will be floating soon if you never trim them.

if i were you, i would got for ADA soil Amazonia..
comes in 3L and 9L pack.. or you can buy them in various KGs from our sifus here
they got the sand(more finer in size) and normal type, but the sand cost abit more than the normal ones..

*
ADA soil was never a bad choice. it can provide nutrient for plants and also helps as ph buffer.

sifu weijie,
usually, if we dont have lava rocks, can we substitute them with lfs apek's gravel?
or they have the same effect when using the lava rocks since the mound will simply collapse overtime?

*
what kind of gravel you are referring to? those white color stones from LFS?
lava rocks are from lava mountains, so they would contain more nutrients to artificial rocks that made by human.
if you notice, lava rocks also have a lot of small holes which is suitable for bacteria housing (same effect as bio ring but cheaper version)

those are artificial stones/sand. has no meaning if you put them into aquarium. better if you just get waterfall sand or use lava rocks.

not really, if you dump ADA soil into the aquarium directly with fishes inside, i dont think they will do well.
i have crushed lava rocks for sale too.

Why we want to use lava rock? Mind without lava rock and ADA powersand my glosso can grow very well. I have to trim it almost every 2 weeks. From my experience just use ADA amazonia soil is enough. If got extra money invest into the filter even better choice. If the filtering system is good then very seldom we can see algae grow in our tank. Last time my tank always attack by algae but now even i switch on my lighting for 12 hours everyday also no problem. The most improtant is your filter. This is from my past experience. I would like to share here.
*
how do you make a 7inch height of soil from the back of aquarium?
we use lava rocks to create slope, and reduce the use of ADA soil.
This is an alternative way to save budget.
