hurm, so far my cherry barbs seems ok, one or 2 tried to nip my RCS but they jumped away and sometimes use their antenna and to act as a shield.
so far so good.
btw, how do you attach a mesh steel inlet when using lily pipes?
my viscosity level of my water tank seemed high, the bubles from co2 and air pump doesnt pops-up
when reaching the surface.
so i WC 10-20% and increases my air pump speed to medium high, is it enough?

how to attach steel mesh to inflow ? biggrin.gif

another question bro, why do we need to stick it under our tank?
whats the purpose of it actually?
what if i got a stable solid and smooth surface for my tank holder?

*
hmmm.. i dun really stick it to my tank.. just put it as a base lo

no specific purpose tongue.gif u can put if u want.. or u think current surface is good enough.. then ur tank will be ok without it too

hmmm.. u can get those med ofr BGA in lfs or even marine fish shop

but its a type of anti-bacteria... to kill off BGA bacteria.. so in the process, u might kill off ur BB and some fauna too if overdose smile.gif

BGA usually come when u hving dirty filter or death spot with no water movement

yup..i just rescape my tank..and use new soil..h.e.l.p advance soil.. sweat.gif
i will "pau" some coral chip from local FS..hehe..2 otto can survive that pH..but when i put RCS inside the tank..the will swim like crazy..i take them out and put in my temporary tank.. rclxub.gif
*
this soil is meant to lower ur PH to around 5

put too much coral chip will raise ur GH and eventually RCS will suffer from molting problem

ops..i meant borneo wild products..need ur advise.

any idea to reduce the temp? put the 02 bubble pump, and put water in bottle (frozen it), put ice, all try liao...but still dont help much...
*
avoid buying too many fert.. u just need few types only smile.gif most of them overlaps, different name different brand but similar content...

put frozen bottle just will lower the temp suddenly.. and then it will increase back. wont help, and will stress out ur fish or shrimp coz of sudden drop in temp

the solution is simple enough i guess.. fan, then chiller, no other magic way to lower temp d

u can try DIY PC TEC cooler, push water thru a tec plate and heatsink (search for tec cooling), will help a bit but effect still can't beat compressor driven chiller icon_rolleyes.gif
