this might be a silly question.....for aqua plants when u plant them do you do it the same as normal plants? just plant the roots into the soil?

Yep the same... but need to plant it securely as it will float if you dont biggrin.gif

How big is your chiller and size of your aquarium? ambient temp of your house?

my tank around 1.5ft..purposely for shrimp..ambient temp in room is around 27-28°C..
*
2.5ft to 3ft tank on a Heilea 150a chiller (1/10 hp) will add around RM30-RM50 to your bill (setting at 25*c / room ambient temp at 28-30*c)

it is if you know how to mod it a little... for a 2ft it is OK for a larget tank no feel hahaha

What they do is to replace the stock fan to a much higher rpm fan...


Added on April 6, 2012, 11:59 amI have seen people mod the dolphin and the temperature is at 22*c from ambient at 29*c
