take some time to read first page of this forum, and maybe you can go my blog to have a view too.
i wrote some information which is very useful for beginners.

ahhahah. cant blame them ma.
i was once told to put in lots of coral chips to enhance plants grow. and turn on light 24/7.
my gf was when she heard the seller telling that. then i keep quite only

apa tu singapore shrimp. i kinda confused since introduction of "malayan shrimp". lololol

normal type of amazonia can use to grow HC.
IMHO,
but as newbie, your first mistake is going into HC straight. It is very hard to grow, easily dead and easily float.

"field grass" is the most common project for beginners.
Many has failed to plant this grass as it is not easy to grow and maintain.
Even some sifu in my-mac also failed to grow it.

I am doing this "grass field" project in next 2feet tank.
Specificaiton:
Super clear glass aquarium 2feetx1feetx14inch.
Eheim ecco
Light: DIY project LED, 10w 10000k x 3pcs + 3w x3pcs.
ADA new amazonia NORMAL type
Stay tune. i will upload progress in my FB page.

kimi: that pic @.@" nice ~!

calvin: mana lu pergi? Indon ? can catch some sulawesi back? wahahahha.

SG: Thanks for clarification. War gonna start if we still discuss about this.

@jctasoga: +1. Lol~ Joking joking.

December: what is the reason you changing that ballast? is it kaput already?

you seems like another ignorant kid. welcome to planted tank
SG is kind enough to state you the rules in this topic. Pls follow it.

108 seems low, but if you are only aiming for simple setup then should be ok ba.
i see you put 60-70% area with sand, it would be simple setup for shrimp breeding purpose?

Glosso, hairgrass lo.

you talked about "OFFICE", i straight will linked to "Free AirCon" then automatically goes to "Shrimps"

wow. can i apply to work at your place?
lololol

where you work btw?
ahhahahha. gf gonna kill me if i change my job because wanted to have aquarium inside the office.
During interview, if boss ask"what you like about our company" i answer "you guys have cool aquarium"

where you got this image from? SG website?
maybe i can help to get it. but it seems that price is not cheap.

sorry to tell,
but i already ordered a bunch of LED light. gonna start DIY soon for my 2feet tank as trial. lol~
10W LED, 8000k, 10000k, 12000k, 14000k
3W LED, 6500k, 8000k, 12000k, 14000k.
if this project is successful then i will make for 3feet or even bigger tank.

During my research, i found out that we only need 30-50% LED watt power to get similar light output as florescent.
This is very helpful since TNB charges is increasing every year. and climate change also increase our room temperature.
I hope i can get 25-27C for 2feet tank with LED lighting

ya you will find out the color is funny. this is because LED spectrum is very narrow, not like florescent.
For white LED , it will only output "pure white". blue and yellow spetrum is very very narrow. UP brand uses blue LED to compensate but it is not natural too.

Short saying, for time being, if you want to use LED, there are very limited choice with quite bad efficiency.
thats why i taking so many different color temperature LED. i need to test for best combination of visual effect as well as plants growth.
Price might not be cheap since i using 3W/10W/20W LED, not those cheapo LED like other brand is doing.

Plants like light with color temperature 8000-12000k. Thats why you will see Aquazonic using 12000k and sunsun 10000k.
Normal white LED is only 6500k-8000k.
As for human eyes, in planted tank we like yellow and blue spectrum. maybe 30% yellow and 70% blue.
so my plan:
10W 10000k LED use for plants grow. it can penetrate until bottom tank and makes HC and other carpet plants happy.
3W LED, 6500k, 8000k, 14000k, for human eye to be happy.

Simply testing and experimenting.

if you can spend Rm200 for scissor or lily pipe, why not Rm400 for LED light set?
LED lifespan is 50000hours. consider you using 10hours per day, it last 5000days, which is 14years.
WITHOUT CHANGING BULB or worry that color temperature will run !

had you measure the light angle and intensity? LED light has very limited output angle.
some spot might be too bright and some will be very dim.
i think you can see a light beam on your aquarium (which personally i dont prefer).
Anyway, please share out your result after you tested it. Best with pictures

yes you are correct. PAR is light intensity measurement, color temperature for human eye. i still research about it though.

test it first then you will know why we say white LED making plants look weird.

Morning guys,
i went to East Aqua at Ikano center yesterday. if i not mistaken, they are selling Shiruba filter at Rm70 (Normal price Rm130++).
Need to double confirm since the shopkeeper is too busy to entertain me

WTF. they should had stated it clearly. i just saw the price there but no crew member to entertain me so i just walked away.
HOB is good enough for shrimp tank. since we dont plan to dose co2 inside.

wont that be dangerous? once bacteria colony has reached equilibrium, then you remove beneficial bacteria.
does remaining bacteria able to handle the extra task?
