Then wat soil u can recommend to me for my future moss tank?

If really 100% moss..and no shrimp..normal gravel will do..white or black is ur preference maybe u need to dose some fert once in a while

Some will use amazonia or other soil for moss tank because they keeping RCS or CRS...

Devil86:
You sure you won't keep any shrimps in future? Hehhehee
I said that sentence too when I first started. Lol
Now I keeping 2 shrimps only tank. Haha

if moss only tank u even dont hv to put the 5 elements n amazonia
can use sand e.g river sand

ceiling light is not consider as low light thou

some might say why i cannot use my ceiling light bcoz moss are low light plants and my ceiling light is 24 W worrr..

u need to understand the relationship btw distance of light source and tank, tank depth, light penetration etc etc

generally :
• Only 73% of the surface light reaches a depth of 1 centimeter (less than a half inch)
• Only 44.5% of the surface light reaches a depth of 1 meter (3.3 feet)

and now imagine ur ceiling light which is around 2 or 3 meter high .. plus all the light lost when travelling through the water

Question here again.....

1. If I want to plant some plants do I really need substrate + gravel? (Gravel means here is special composition that can oni buy? River small rock kenot?

2. What is easiest carpet plant to taken care off and easy to plant. (No need special environment, cause for starting im not planning to get a CO2 tank)

3. If I plan to get a shrimp do I really need special requirement for my tank?

Sorry for a lot of Q, I also edi search from website and download some pdf e-books to get clear my mind before going shopping for this hobbies next weekend. tQ.

1.depends on why kind of plants you want to have. If rotala and carpet plants then you need gravel like Amazonia.

2.most simply carpet plant is Glosso in my opinion. But it requires co2 supply. I don'tthink any kind of carpet plants can grow without co2

3.to go for shrimps, you need lower ph and suitable temperature

Hope this helps

Anyone knows where to get the o-ring for co2 manual regulator??
I'm from KL

normal hardware (5-gold) shop will have.. under RM1 can get

those who don want to hv light, co2, soil n even filter
there always an option

Hi all,

May i know how u all deal with the unfinished fish food or any waste of the fish that sink on the substate? Do v need to manually clean them?

Went to visit Penang's KW yesterday after Penang Hill.
So damn excited!! Bought 4 yamato ( 1 dead), 5 oto ( also 1 dead), some mollies and some guppies.
Saw some "dragon" but don't know will disturb soil or not so din purchase. So happy to have my oto team back to business. But kesian KW's oto, can see them eating the dead,and swim with the dead..

many sifu said can use T5 sell in light shop which is much cheaper than LFS.

Yesterday I went to a light ship and asked them, they said the T5 they sell is not suitable for Planted Tank, must get from Aquarium Shop.

Is it true? anybody using T5 bought from light ship and think it is good enough?

applebee:
If you can find a 6500k to 12000k T5 HO at light shop, then it would not be any problem.
most T5 sold at light shop is normal grade of T5, which light intensity is not strong enough to penetrate deep water. hence, it is not good for your carpet plants.

Feed moderately. You do not need to clean uneaten food if you feed as much as the fish can consume before sink down and settle on substrate.
