I checked a pet shop in Mid Valley (highest floor) and there's one aquarium 30x17x20 including filter and light costing RM88. Brand is Ocean Free. Worth while?

Btw, my first time getting fish so you all think I should get real or fake plants?

Only the aquarium and filter can use for plants aquarium, light mostly is not suitable.
You can buy Ocean free aquarium and filter around Rm50 outside.

You post this comment in planted tank forum.
i think you already know what we gonna answer you

For those who own a 3 footers. Where do you guys buy your tanks and cabinets, and how much is your price range?
Mind to share?
TQTQ~

hmmm.. i would say PH equally important as GH if u keeping shrimp.. haha bcoz GH is basically measurement of Magnesium (Mg+) and Calcium (Ca+) ions in ur water, which are important for shrimp, snail etc with shell

KH : the term 'hardness' in KH is somewhat confusing because it does not actually measure hardness, but rather the alkalinity (buffering capacity - ability to neutralize acids) of a solution to resist a pH change. The higher the KH, the more stable and resistant your water is to pH swings. A KH of 2-3dKH is generally accepted as the minimum to maintain a stable pH.

PH, KH, GH.. all of them are related to each other its kinda complex to explain everything in real sience.. but u can get the basic idea from chart below

for test kit, dun buy API KH/GH test kit.. not accurate, too bad NA dun hav Sera GH test kit

So is there any good test kits that we can use to get accurate KH/GH reading?
i planning to get some sulawesi soon. so KH/GH is very important.

i heard Sera GH test kit not bad wor.. i bought API KH/GH test kit last time..but not very useful/accurate

most of the KH/GH test kit require you to increase drop by drop of solution into test tube until it change to certain color, and numbers of drop = GH or KH, so need to make sure the color is really contrast.. for example, blue -> red, green -> purple etc etc

i can't really differentiate the color change in API kit

Wow....weijie going for higher level jor.Gratz
Now i cant even breed RCS
So,i should get gh/kh test kit 1st or PH?I have very limited budget only at the moment

i think under RM50 or RM60 u can get both test kit d

Check the temperature first. Must maintain at around 27 for RCS to breed. Give them a few months also. The Shrimps need to adapt to new tank.

not yet. need to prepare cash and knowledge first.
it cost so much so i need to be extra careful before buying.
i found out sellers in lowyat direct import sulawesi shrimps.
do you guys know anyone breed them here?
