u have any budget in mind that you're willing to spend on this hobby? monthly? initially? the answer of your question varies from as cheap as you can be up until the most glorious pricetags. how about you give a number and we'll help you sort out what things u'll need within that budget of yours. lor of people would have this question and i bet lot of people here can help you to sort out.

erm not really have any budget in mind. i was thinking to spend any amount just for the necessaries. but of coz not too high budget max i can go maybe around rm300? beginner set up will do, no need pro stuffs

see, 300.. that's a number already
...let's see what you can have in 300.

Non-ADA Aquasoil = RM40
Rocks = RM100
Plants = RM30
Lighting = RM60
DIY CO2 = RM 10
HOB Filter = RM25
Saechem Excel = RM50
Small Fan (Optional) = RM35

= RM345 / RM315 (w/o fan).

tadaa... iwagumi~ hu hu hu!!!

minus the lighting and DIY CO2 = RM265 = pretty nice lowtech tank. woot~

p/s: this if i were you, otherp eople might have their own budgetting but sure something could come out..

can probably cut the budget on rocks. i got mine from nursery in bandar sri damansara super cheap. or just do simple layout with moss, can turn out very nice also.

What a stubborn hair algae. just cleaned my tank this maghrib. wc 30% and clean the glass with razor blade. then throw away dead plants that been sucked their life by hair algae. throw severe plants that infected by hair algae. after finished. i clean the wet floor. 3hours after that, see hair algae spread at tank glass and at some new plant. oh my god. what a frustation. can u all help giving advise on how to stop this algae from keep attacking my the only first tank?

hair algae on tank glass? that's nasty. LOL~ but still isnt as hard as until can become a treescape... try to pick manually using hands. when u scrape, those spores might floats everywhere and might starts another new shoots. use finger or toothbrush. and dip in another tap water bucket. bla bla bla.. repeat the process. minimize the growth, and let your cleaner crews taking care of those 'soft' ones. while at the meantime, get ur tank back in balance.

light i already have. i believe its sufficient enough rocks also have, from my current aquarium. HOB filter also can save, already have as well. what's the fan for? any seller in LYN i can purchase all these stuffs in 1 go?

here's my current tank. lighting check, HOB filter check, stones check. tht fake barrel i think can use as well



rocks definitely out of the list. i already have some now

to save more budget, i guess, DIY 12DC Computer Fan + 12V AC-DC Adapter(less volt, means less rpm in fan)
instead, of going full plants, try moss only haha, no need speacial CO2 and ferts...
moss only tank looks good too if you know how to manipulate them

example of moss tank:

thanks for the info naoki...

the fan function is to lowering down your tank temperature..if you live in genting or cameron..no need to install lah..haha

this is a nice example to encourage newbie enter from the low tech..but the foreground sand is must..

always google translate them some nice info might be unavailable in english. not all aquarist like to share what they had found out. just like that yuzu and khaki juice-liquid fertilizer or maybe we the one who did not ask them?


for non-ADA aqua soil, H.E.L.P 3L brand price = RM 35. also was made in japan
rocks can be buy at nursery around kampung melayu nursey near kota damansara. more cheap i guess.
try buying only 2 type of plant for your first trying. once they grow bigger, cut any part you wish to theow them out and the one that you just cut off, tie them on driftwood, riccia stone, etc. hehe.. just concentrate on fertilizer@potassium for 'rootless' plant such as riccia seachem? i though can buy some liquid fertilizer starting from RM 39

usermode, How many pack of soil you put into your beautiful tank? all soil or putting a layer of holland at base?

i've some stones underneath to create the slopes. i didnt mix with holland sand. all amazonia II soils with finer grains on top layer. i think i used around 2-1/2 bags and 1 bag for finer grains.

first time i heard Christmas moss selling at RM90 per bag..
daaayyummm...i can buy amazonia 9L for that price!

try use babelfish better than google translate...cos sometime google translate is not so correct, german like to combine several words to become 1 word...or if u want u can ask me to translate the deutsch huhu

if u have tight budget, u can consider loose pack of ADA soil....

ur light i think is 11w. you can only grow low light plants

if u wanna save on soil, grow plants that is attached to rocks/wood
