if youre scared, put some blanced/boiled zucinni, small piece only, remove lefovers after 6 hours.
also, take your algae wafers, crushed them into dust, and applied on the blanced zucinni,
not a 100% working method, but it help, even it has a low percentage of success rate. i thought mine using this method.

now the algae wafer is already broken into many small pieces at one spot the tetras are all interested in it but they can't find a clue how to eat it LOL

i will leave it until 2mr morning and see how. maybe the ottos will be more active when i switch off all the lights

zeneticX, u might be lucky : maybe ur ottos are cleaning up algaes inside the aquarium somewhere. that's why its not interested in the wafers; its got more fresh algae to eat

if u see the ottos getting thinner, then u know the aquarium is not neough algae for them lo...

may i suggest that u drop the wafer once a 2-3 days. that should keep those otto happy.

Just let your Ottos settle down first. They will get active soon

my otto settle down for 2 months, i drop algae wafer then dont even come closer... not my shrimp too =.=

only my yamato got interest with the algae wafer.
my otto seem to ignore it even after a few months..
indicate that my tank full with fresh algae

unless ur otto is sick, otherwise, they will find something to chew on when hungry... tats nature... when hungry... anything is also nice

not to be overly worried.

i always monitor the otto..
their stomach always boyot 1..

my otto doing good in office tank. i throw in 2-3 piece of algae wafer. they ignore it. as long as their stomach look a bit round..its ok i guess. hydrocotyle spreading nicely..

Guyz, what brand of lighting is cheap and create less problem not like aquazonic. I plan to buy a second set of lighting for my tank. Recommend me:D

wht is your tank size?
if 2 feet go for PLL 55Watt...
caused next time u change the bulb rm20 already can get one.. cheap for replacement bulb

aquazonic dont really have any problem... except ballast... but that ballast kinda cheap also at jalan pasar... lolz...

jz now i woke up. the algae wafer bits are already cleared up. guess they are really active in total darkness

btw my tank after re scaping and added new fishes

before



after

current price for otto how much arr?

Need help from sifu here

1. my 60cm x 45cm x 35cm tank is currently infested with thread algae. Currently I am using T5HO 24w x 4 lighting and only ADA iron bottom in the soil. Lighting period is 8 hours total with 3 hours on in the morning follow by 3 hours off then on back again for 5 hours. CO2 supply is 2bps. How can I remove the algae?? Tried to remove it with tooth brush but seems like it attached to my plants quite tightly and not easy to remove.

2. my CO2 check valve had backflow after the CO2 being turned off at night. Some of the water in the bubble counter flow into the tubing and pass through the check valve The check valve is connected before flowing into bubble counter and in the correct direction. The CO2 tank is connected to 2 diffuser to supply to 2 different tank. both of the plastic check valve (different brand) also showed backflow after the CO2 is turn off. I have check the solenoid connection with the CO2 tank and into the divider but could not find any leakage..








Any advice please?
