1A = 1000mA ampere bigger = stronger... but the fan.. wat rating is it? too high Ampere will fry the motors...

melted might be due to chlorine inside water too much...

bro, drilling hole is one thing... how about the coil? need titanium coils inside the fridge to keep the water cooled... cannot use copper...

somethings are just not meant for DIY

*peace* to all...

not to pour cold water, but its really too difficult to DIY chiller. DIY fan to cool the aquarium is ok, but to DIY a chiller is really too big project to justify its costs.

sometimes DIY is not just to cut cost, like me, i DIY alot (not just aquarium stuffs) because 1. it is fun, 2. because i like to DIY (i come from the generation where we watch MacGyver on TV n aspire to become like him when we grow up ) n 3. because i believe i can do it...

+1 agree DIY cannot be determined by value. the experience and interest part is the best!

actually, slower growth of roots can also be attributed to other symptoms. its not necessarily a bad omen. as long as all nutrients are met, the growth should still happen, only at slower rate. slower rate can be more managable at times. my amazon swords also started to slow down even though i've added the 5 elements. so i believe its the macro nutrients that is important anyway

pretty quiet 2nite...

yeah, wonder wats the secret? no fert + no co2... hmm...

actually, can i know does anyone here worry about the water KH or GH? been reading about it lately.

a bit mumbo jumbo actually :

which shop? haven seen ottos for a while. my LFS here never stock it...

so i only use pleco to go the algae cleaning... got 2 for my 4ft tank... not enough hiding place for them though...

no worries everyone..

new oasis got ah? I look high and low but maybe missed it. then again to carry them 2 hrs back to BP.. a bit the long drive for them.. ahahaha...

i wanted to get some more plants actually... but nvm lah...

Its not wrong but not normal either. U have to consider the type of plants that go into ur tank. I prob could grow moss or hc with that height.. No echinodorus or high plants... Then u have to consider to buy appropriate filter as well.

Customized tank need customized accessories too.

i just giving example only. the size at least can still accommodate a 3ft light. the height really is too low i think...

i would think its better to follow standard spec height of 1.5ft or 38cm. you will have less issues with light penetration to the bottom of tank and most plants will grow well with this light distance. ie 1.5ft (height) x 1.5ft (width) x __ft (length)

kimi : thanks. next time got chance i go again.. haha..

my local pets shop qian hu is moving store. store owner said they are going to deplete the aquatic stocks at 10-50% depending on products. some are the filters / medication / sera (at 10-30% off) etc. the eheim normally already on sales (nation wide including kl also got this offer) also available i think 2213 or 2215 is rm400++.

anyone looking for some hardware can let me know wat u guys wanna check out. a lot of arcadia lights but still expensive... rm81++ for the 4ft lights...

i targetting the 2227 filter... but rm13xx
