you referring to surface skimmer or protein skimmer?

i sellign surface skimmer Rm25. Please refer to my blog for image.
but i dont think it is possible to attach an HOB.
by the way, you are using 3.5feet tank with HOB only?

you would need co2 indicator to dose correct amount of gas into your aquarium. adjust co2 bps according to co2 indicator color.
there are NO accurate guide on bps for any aquarium size, because co2 dissolve is depending on your water flow, aeration, plants, light, many more factors.

normal fan sound.
if you want silent fan, get pc fan, but very low output, better dont put.

keep your outlet hose as short as possible.

usermode:
never register for IAPLC? no harm trying!
i guess you would get within no.50 !

UP algae remover is the only/best choice you got

as long as you never overdose then should not be any problem.
cherry shrimps loves when i dose UP algae remover. they got buffet algae meals

yes yes,
small bottle are Rm18. i will pm you the size later on. now i am inside office already

Kairos Aquatics,
planted tank or normal fish shop?

thanks jiejian.
how long you start this tank?
hairgrass condition ok?

Growth is liquid type.
if you want solid type there are few types in market, for ADA, they have multi bottom and iron bottom
i heard SERA brand also quite effective.

got their shop name and address?
please share so i can add them inside our list

i think his tank was leaking co2 very fast and air around the leakage point was condense. thats why will have water droplets.
1200psi is really high.

good thing never come cheap.
cheap thing never serve good. remembers
manual regulator without gauge is pain-in-@ss. you wont know when will the co2 died off.
If it happens during RAya or CNY, then good luck to you and your setup.
I would suggest to get a second hand, post a WTB thread in petstore section will help.

we are taking about manual regulator right?

because price is too expensive.
Price i get from distributor is same as the SELLING price of ANS solenoid

bio ring should not be changed or washed in any way.

buy from home breeder better.
i found out that they always have dead fishes/shrimps in their tank.

+1.
thats what happened to me when i told the malay workers to remove the dead fishes from their aquarium.
i said to them that dead fishes will actually generate sickness to other living stock since they are sharing same filter system.

if you want to grow the same plants, then 4 x 10w will do.
since 36Wx2 is way too low for a 4feet tank.

4x20w i believe can enable you to join glosso/hairgrass/Hc club
try find 8000k or 10000k color temperature. 6500k white LED still making plants look strange for me.

yes. that is HC in emerse form.
you need high light, high co2 and high nutrient.

depending on what kind of plants you want to grow, and also depending on what is your soil/base substrates.

please state your location and budget first. then it would be much more easier for us to recommend planted tank size for you.

Planted tank is very easy to take care when it is matured (about 1year plus, without major changes in aquarium load/ setup)
you only need to pay more attention when first start.
Bigger planted aquarium has much stable water parameters, therefore you required less water change and less casualty on livestocks
