HC need high light and co2

White spot normally we put blue tonic potion. But you cant do it inside your aquarium.
Find another place to quarantine the fish and treat with medic.
I don't think cold water is the cause. I keep guppy at 27C

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 smile.gif

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

Calculation:
24inch x 12inch x 12inch = 15galllon water
15 x 3 = 45W light. 3watt per gallon
Now you put 110W. 7.3Watt per gallon
Previously 36w. 2.4watt per gallon

You can use 36W. But I not sure why you put net on top of your aquarium?
And the light you using is yellowish?

Last night, i went to several threads regarding low maintance tank. with low light, no co2 and with/ without filter.
Wow, their tanksranging frm  nano to 6 ft- very nice.  tongue.gif
They're using HOB filter pump, with really low light. Half the tank's requirement and no co2.
So now's the plan, i get wei jie's moss, arrange with other low tech plants, use HOB.  Pump DIY co2 for for 2 months ( like what someone in that forum shared).
After that, just let it run slowly.. maybe after 2 months, can add shrimps?

Is this workable for me too? I think i just cabut one 55w so it's just nice. sweat.gif

moss can grow in low co2 condition. Yes you can use DIY CO2.
Maybe you try to do the solution while waiting i cultivate all the mosses for you? rclxms.gif

yes should can disconnect one of the 55W, so left 55w is just nice for your aquarium.
Remember to put the light at the center of your aquarium so lights is spread evenly to most part of aquarium.

@ciohbu
Yes i am using ADA 5 elements.
I buy from in loose form. each scoop rm2.
Basically i just put 3+3+3+3+6 in my newly setup 3feet tank. 6scoops for bacter 100. total only rm36.
If buy all 5 bottles need rm500 woh~
You can get cheaper?

@genielee_83
Fish like to play with the output water flow from HOB
But HOB filter has very small effect in filtration and bacteria population.

IMHO, big drift wood already block most of your plants.
Maybe you should put it behind java fern
