Wow I never realise that aquascaping is actually a DIY hobbies done at home until I saw this thread.
Always thought this thing is something to be seen at places like pet shoppes or marine parks.

Anyway something that I had always been curious of, what kind of water are you guys using in the planted tank?
Is it our regular tap water? Cause the water looks so clear and clean looking from the pictures that you guys shown in the thread
*
no special water needed although some do use RO water, mostly are tap water treated with anti-chlorine, why so clear the water? then aquarium water filters is the key beside the ever needed beneficial bacteria that help clear up the toxin and breakdown waste. Maintenance is essential though we
never take photo of those cos it never be an attractive part unless it done by a bikini clad model. brows.gif

Hah if you took pics of those kind of model doing maintenance most probably only the model will end up in the pictures  tongue.gif
Media? Do you mean the soil?
*
Media is special housing made for beneficial bacteria to stay and multiple , actually those bacteria can grow anywhere , soil, sand , glass etc but
we need special place to accumulate as much of them as possible that why bio-media is develop for this purpose , normally we house those media
in the filters himself, it come it many shape and materials, you walkin a local fish shop , goto the shelf you will notice lot of different brand and different shape and materials of filter media.
Google keyword aquarium filter media , you will learn/know more.

Try nilufar pet & aquatic in tesco jln kuchai lama. Lot of stone there, price ok , actually they almost the same among the lfs , different maybe just few ringgit per kilo.
Ryu stone aka ADA stone is the most expensive among all those type of stones. Price range rm12 to 18 per kilo.

bought eheim substrat but think they quote me wrong price.... selling rm80 i got for rm16 muahahaha!!!


Added on May 6, 2012, 9:06 am

you serbu all the nice stuff no wonder when i go there nothing left...
*
wow... nice must be the 2L substrate pro at rm162.. the guy at counter must have overworked. Instead of half-price he take out the numeric 2.

Be there yest. around 2pm , by the time , all good stuff gone , all Ehiem HOB sold out on sat, even the two Teco chiller gone.
But at usual last day got awesome offer , got 2 terra tank for RM20 each (n.price is RM174.90 each) got light ,internel filter & reptile fountain.
RM20 for the light only also worth it. Thought of buying 5 but what the heck i gonna do with it, maybe resell at RM60 each, can 'untung' RM40,
The first day got one LFS come and brought the only big size terra tank and load of filters especially sponge filters , it look like the owner
from Irene aquarium(maybe i'm wrong). hmm.gif
Anyway i grab one box of 5L eheim lav substrate , may gonna use it to laid at bottom of soil to keep more bacteria like ADA power sand.
But he didn't charge me RM13, but half price like calvin_ng enjoy. blink.gif
Also grab 2 tube of Ocean free terra sand at rm3 each. (n.price rm16.50) rclxm9.gif
This kind of warehouse need to go early on the first day & last day. laugh.gif

maybe ammonia smell? is it like the smell like "aquarium water no change for 7 days or more" type? snails dig into or run around the substrate to aerate the substrate which i believe is to gas out those gas trapped in the substrate. any sifu wanna clarify?

The smell is like rotten dead stuff. My palm got the smell after i holding them. Small driftwood also got the smell. But after wash, smell is gone.

Thanks for the advise, but no where do I know how to determine which should I get.. It will be for a 2.5ft tank (100litre~) for a 100litre tank, how much should the filter be pumping per hour? I assume 1litre per hour for each litre the tank holds?
*
100L tank, filter capacity should at least x5 or x6 of tank capacity = 600L/H power filter, Eheim 2215 match it, but you need to take into consideration if any inline CO2 diffuser or chiller is used, those will cut back the filter flow rate esp chiller.

realised some of those stuffs on saturday rumoured to be bought in bulks by so so other petshop owner but looks like they are doing it to promote sales..u know what i mean?  brows.gif

also, Mr Yee really quick to dissapear from me when i met him, maybe he dont want me to ask for discounts.  biggrin.gif
