At night after dinner around 9pm he should be around...maybe u can give him a call before u plan to visit
Tuesday he off but sometime he'll b around at night time

Yup he is the boss of the shop, even easier to kowtim if aunty is not around....

some question would like to ask Sisaiko and also all the sifu here
below plants got from you last month. is it grow healthy? the color not green enough. is it normal?




Hygrophila Angustifolia (plant also got from you)
plan to cut and re-plant, my question are
can i cut the red color arrow portion and re-plant?
normally how tall only can cut for re-plant?


which portion shall i cut and re-plant? red or pink? (red = new grow portion & pink = middle portion)
can i cut the newly grow portion and insert to the soil?


Thanks

korean_girlsclub: time to get some liquid ferts. hehehheh

Hi Weijie,
my tank is 320L, CO2 1bps, temp=27C and ph=6.8
Im using the Depont liquid ferts 5ml every day. i add Seachem Potassium 10ml, Nitrogen 10ml, Phosphorus 10ml weekly.

no water change but i add 10L every day because water drying up by fan.

do u think still not enough fertilization?

of all the substrate out there, which type and brand is the better choices for my upcoming aquarium? kinda confuse with different, amazonia, malaya, africana and size too, powder and medium sizes??

Hi KG,

Im not sure the last plant is from me, seems like one type of Ludwigia maybe Rapens

Dont worry the plant is not green enough, the rotala(1st pic), cos it not suppose to be green
i think u lack of iron or lights, not sure about Depont content with, plus try to dosage ferts on daily basis instead of 1 shot....and WC also good for remove exceed nutriens in your tank.

the rotala u just trim as low as you can and replant it trimmed stem as dense as u can

the Pogostemon sp Babien Laos(2nd pic) u can cut them anywhere you wan and replant it by removing the lower leaves then plug it into ur soil. same goes to ludwigia

once you get the dense plant, then you can start shape your scape for the stem plant
you can refer here

see how they plant the plant....

hope this might be helpful

You are using 4feet tank right?
water dry up 10L per day?
1bps seems too low wo.. i am using 4bps for 3feet with inline atomizer. rotala pearl like crazy.
what is your light watt?

ADA amazonia is more suitable for planted tank. color is darker than malaya and africana. and much more nutrient too.
it is recommended by ADA to put normal type as base, then top up with powder type.
if you are on low budget, just get normal type will do

depend on what you up to

amazonia good for plant, africana good for chiclids and malaya in between
http://www.adana.co.jp/en/products/na_substrate/aqua_soil/

IME i've use amazonia n malaya both can grow plant but amazonia the growth rate faster
Never use africana b4, so cant say much

powder or normal also depend on what plant you want to put,
small carpet plants(glosso, hc, HG) prefer powder, echinodorus n crypt can use the normal type.
and of cos powder more expensive

and try not to mix up the soil(amazonia,africana & malaya), otherwise u will get belang-belang layer

most starter will go with Amazonia

another different thing btw all aquasoil is the PH level ... u need to consider this if u adding expensive fauna later

I like this glowing tetra fish.. the blue coloured ones in particular!!

A shop quoted me RM70 for an aquarium, filter, plant+sand set. Each fish would cost RM1.50.

Good deal?

Or maybe you guys got any suggestion for other types of fish? I like colourful glowing type

how big is the tank? i think is not bad for a starter. i suggest you pick cardinal tetra over neon if you like glowing tetra but its more pricy, say bout 2.5-3 each depends on size.

Added on October 13, 2011, 3:14 pmthanks for the link! so if based on ADA, the substrate layer should be lowest>>powersand, next>>aqua soil, highest>>cosmetic sand???

RM80 which is bigger than the RM70 aquarium tank is something like this:



The pet shop near my house is quite small, only has 1 type of glowing tetra I think.

Any place to recommend in KL? Because I think it's a little pricey here

wow 4bps so much ahh and i only have 98w with 6700k light

if RM80 this size with the substrate and light is quite worth it, livestock can choose , prepare another 100 for it (plants + fishes). most pet store sells neon tetra from rm1 to rm1.5, cardinal u have to go to some bigger shop to get, i am not familiar with KL, but in cheras i can suggest some place to you.

light is too low.
i am using 182w for 3feet tank.
ferts is only needed when you already got optimum condition for your plants.
co2, and light is the main ingredient for your plants to grow healthy.
of course, NPK is needed during photosynthesis.

Added on October 13, 2011, 3:42 pmi dont think aquarium this small need Rm100 for live stock.
the more live stock you put in, the more frequent water changes is required.
10 cardinal should be optimum d.

Agree with weijie..98w and 1bps is too low for 4ft

U will never regret adding more co2 (if still within optimum level, co2 indicator will tell u this) ...lack of co2 might invite algae with dosing of liquid fert..bcoz plant hav nothing to react with

@kelvin8810

personally snap this from my BOOK OF ADA, hope u can get more details





of course, u can always adjust what u mix according to ur budget, its just some suggestion and marketing from ADA
