hehe.. try calculate the light u need, and u wanna go for low light, or medium light, high light usually is for co2

yamato is extremely sensitive to water parameter, even more sensitive than cardinal tetra and cherry shrimp

my math is C-.. ==
2x1x1 ft.
It's 2 weeks and my sakura, swordtails , neons and guppies not kamikazing. So can say is stable ph?
Sakura is cherry?

i think should be 54 liters = around 14.2 gallon

if u using 55x2w, = 7.7w/gallon ... for sure u need co2 to support the growth

correct me if i am wrong

cham lor~~ rm90 wasted ~~
Hb gonna murder me
36watt is ngam lar?
Sayang 3 ft belum ada planning and money to start, if transfer there sure become medium- low lights.

some tips for saving.. put lava rock underneath your soil (bottom layer lava rock then soil).. my 60x40x40cm tank only use half @ 3/4 bag of soil.. around 5inch thick at the back..


weijie...
already found cheap 55W tube.. only rm10!!! hahahaaa.. im happy...
now searching for 18W tube.. it is available? ask few light shop, they dont know 18W pll exist..

if u wan i sure can help u buy de.. ^ ^ but u still need to get those raw material and plastic bottle oo

hmmm.. bout buying wrong stuff, try survey first lo b4 buying, from plants to fish to tools... everything got their own specs, suitable temperature, requirements etc etc

hehe

mr.paku, have u receive your light yet?

yes.. thanks bro...

I think only The Fishshop at Perangi Mall Komtar have some special Plant.
Other than that, maybe you can visit CTY (Malaysia larger lfs), some time the got pretty plant only RM3.

besides, you also can visit KW at Air itam

Maybe i should visit KL, then you guys give me lawatan sambil belajar sambil shopping.
I bought my 55w x2 full set at rm90. Ok bor?
Ciohbu, that diy gadget hw much? Looks classy $$$
I think i need to redo my tank, but not now.. am thinking letting the roots set first..or should i do now b4 they rooted?
My plants so short, don't knw how to arranged them. Maybe java at the corner back? make bushy corner?

will pm u once next order is open

dun kacau / rescape ur tank too much, specially with soil.. will cause amonnia spike and its deadly for shrimp ... so bcareful

i got two tank with shrimp.

1. 3 feet tank fill with heavy planted, a few species of fish total 70 and a few species shrimp. (yellow, rili, sakura, cherry, crs grade s and a) - all my shrimp already give a new born except rili and crs

2. 1.5 tank. shrimp only. high grade shrimp crs sss and cbs sss. my crs sss already give a born. new born crs got mix grade. sss, s , a. i just notice this weekend.

anyone want to go Fins N' Greens?
want to kirim something.. =P

Paku:
Rm10 so cheap? What color temperature?
Urmph. I never heard of 18w PLL also. Lol
Lowest is 36w. I think 18w is a very small PLL.
Comes across with it before but I never go check wattage

Genielee:
55w x 2 gonna cause a lot algea prob. Please read my blog carefully and use the information there.
Only simple calculation needed to get your watt per gallon.
Don't waste money buying unnecessary things.
Better save some money to get real co2 supply?
Unless your are DIY specialist like mr.Paku, dont try to make something you don't know fully
