done some reading before,
heard that, if pure oxy is used in deeper recommended depths, those gasses are much more compressed and everytime we take a gulp of air, the amount will be double or quadrupple than normal. so it will be dangerous for divers.
but in theory, if pure o2 is used in aquarium, the gasses will eventually evaporated in the air due to the air is less saturated than the water and surface agitation.


gah~

complicated sgt tuh.huhu

anyway, gud luck bro.

guys..
apa jenis moss can survive in 29c??

java moss. some says phoenix.huhu.gune fan lah nk bela moss. ok jer. kwn bela krismas moss 27-28c. ok jer

i recommend you read more on hyperoxia and oxygen toxicity... or better, u go n ask those ppl that do arowana transport, what gas they use, why they use it n benefits of using it...

ALSO, o2 dosing may or may not increase your pH bro... since pH of water is mainly affected by carbonate, so i think, when concentration of o2 in your water increase, it will displace co2 in your water... (something about nerst equation, partial pressure bla3, gas law, ... i cant remember coz my chemistry is rusty beyond wd40 repair ) this is my theory based on my rusty chemistry knowledge... hope you can find out more (n probably experiment this) n share with us

i have guppy and oto in my tank... they dont seem to eat the worms also... just ignore only... 2 small i guess...

btw... new inspiration for aquascape??? ^^

so far, java moss seems growing uncontrobably inside my tank, flame is growing too and Süßwassertang, well most of them melted(maybe previous tank used chiller) but some still survives and growing slowly
tank: 29-31C, no fert used except fish poo and left-over dead fish & shrimp pieces.

just got back after lepak-ing with them, they said, industrial/welding grade o2 (99.5%) is ok, but using atomizer + reactor helps to conserve $$ alot, or else you'll be since for permanent setup,
the usage of that thing will cause you to sell ure kidney definitely. for temporary its ok though(i cant any lfs in labuan only pet shop selling furry animals lol). not sure the price to refil the o2 though too . this setup suitable for big monster fish la.. if small small one like planted tank, battery operated air pump is just fine. they said you can just hook to a converter and attach car battery to the pump with a few tweaks and can last more than 2 weeks or maybe more depending on your pump power consumption. using top filter is a bonus.
hurm.. maybe have to wait la to try this experiment.

no la bro.. kalau tau trick mesti senang punya, like shrimp keeping la.

really? my tetras got hyperexcited when they see those small2 worm..(btw are we talking about the same worm here? mine looks like white thread, about 1 to 1.5cm in length, usually emerge when i kacau my HOB...) they see one, they *slllluuurp* instantly...lol... sometimes they even fight for it too, coz i usually feed them once every 2 days...

if ur tank is 26-27 than many many moss u can have it

deric....
here the tank pic......




still dont setup anything yet......
just try something out n try to find best way to make it look like "avatar" movie......

something like this......



i just went to irene aquarium today n find just 1 driftwood that i like n river sand.......
its hard to find a tree-like driftwood there......
anyone know best place to buy driftwood with good price around kj n kl?......

if u wonder what the little green thing in that tank....



i actually a seramic candle holder....
it for my paddletail newt hiding place......
maybe i will put java fern on top of that thing......
it will look more natural.....

any comment n suggestion?......
coz this is my 1st time do planted aquarium......
for co2 problem,i already know how to handle it......
i just want to know how the best way to make water cooler without using chiller.....
i want it lower 3 to 4 celcius......

Add fan like my tank temp is 26-27 max.

Wat is ur budget of drift wood?wat kind of shape u looking for?

can u show ur fan setup?........

budget around rm15 to rm20 each for big like the one pic.......
i want it to look like tree with root on the bottom n some branch on top of it just like in the pic.......
i want to plant christmast moss of top of it n some marimo moss on the root.....
what do u think obout it?.......

you may find the wood you want here , within your budget of rm20.
Nilufar Pet & Aquatic at 2nd Floor Tesco @ Old Klang Road. http://www.nilufar.com.my/

suggestion:
if you want to make green vines like in avatar and tarzan movie,
make a 3 braided knot using 3 individual nylon rope and covered them with moss
example how the rope will look like before covered in moss:

i think, first question you would consider: what will happen if there is spark or fire in your house/cabinet.
will the oxygen tank goes KABOOM ?!
