Also what type of primitve fish specimens we can find there. easier to keep track on where to buy them when some of us got an empty tank to fill in

The LFS boss told me that they were line breed and genetically enhance to be short body. You can get easily from Singapore fish shop. you usually how much do they cost?

Getting Started Junior Member 66 posts Joined: Nov 2009 From: currently in Malaysia	hurm, probably due to the feeding of leftovers mealworms then. i wonder if those LFS will let me just buy 2-3 piece of mealworms only lol, instead of a capfull of them. my T's only eat 2 pieces per week, rest have to be flushed into my oscar tank.. tak baik membazir lolol ok, will try your method, also dose a few cheap medications into the water itself yesterday. no more stringy poop so far.

Getting Started Junior Member 66 posts Joined: Nov 2009 From: currently in Malaysia	alright. thanx for the info guys and girls. well, looks like i have to vacumm them then since i need to use gravel due to my fishes like to play with it. Why dont you guys use a sump tank full load(normal filter media..) + with high flowrate cannister filter(inside just use a bit of floss) with attached house water filter...? Those house water filter pads can filter up to 0.5microns...and believe me...they look really crystal clear, donwside of it, you need to get a bigger flowrate power head and every week or a few days need to change the filter pads.

Getting Started Junior Member 66 posts Joined: Nov 2009 From: currently in Malaysia	something like this » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « kByN5MQa7qs i mean you need a higher/bigger/powerful cannister filter since lower flow rate cannister filter will not be enough, due to the filter pad will quickly be clog up, like my case, after using 0.5 microns filter pad, water damn crystal clear, no smell, but after a day, the water output had been reduce significantly, from air pancut, to air titik titik.. lol or you could try to use lesser micro filter pad, now im using a new one, just bought it just now. will update later.

Getting Started Junior Member 66 posts Joined: Nov 2009 From: currently in Malaysia	QUOTE(antzz @ Nov 19 2012, 12:51 AM) I like the idea that it gives u crystal clear water condition, but personally i think that kind of filtration is too much hassle, and quite hard to maintain. Weekly filter pads change is acceptable, but if once everyday (or even every other day), then its probably not for me. Thanks for the video provided, it helps to grasp the whole idea. New way of filtration for me, has its own pro and contra there. Its amazing how u 1st discover the idea i cant take credit for it though, since i just upgraded the design and its use purpose to suit my need from planted tank community and i found out it really works for my oscar fish tank. btw, already 2 days using new loose filter pads, so far so good, water is clearer. guess will see if it last at least a week. will update with pictures of the filter pads later after it started become clogged

Like using filter pads looser than 0.5 microns? yup, still experimenting with looser type of filter pads currently. now probably using 50-100microns or soo. not sure which since they dont have labels on it.

Many prices many models. Any other brands other than Eheim? And if it's Eheim, which model? Maybe two moderate canisters to support the future bio loads. FYI, my tanks are in my living room. With a kid roaming free ^^ So, it should be safe from drowning. LuQee, You also from Ipoh kan? sorry sis, im from subang hehe... not from Ipoh. 2-3 eheim 2217 cannister filters will do good i guess? btw, if you are looking for good eheim subtitute, you could get the ever realible marineland C-Series Canister Filters. they are robust, sturdy and wont failed you for petty stuffs, unless you did something really wrong with it. Theyre kinda like the american version of germani eheim filters. Though they dont come cheap and im not sure theyre spareparts are easily found in our shores. Also, they got those filter pad media that able to tapis those dust/poo/taik ikan particles in water up to 0.5 microns. QUOTE(kakarocht @ Nov 26 2012, 09:59 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « actually the concept are still the same between sump and trickle filter. the diff only how the filteration works only as it is depending on your own setup. some ppl dun like the noise but they choose the trickle filter or sump filter. but most ppl will choose sump filter which is easy to get and depending on their setup. some fish shop do sell the aquarium in set with the sump filters. Some may need to make hole bottom of the aquarium in order to connect with the sump filter. but using the big cannister filters like you mention above it can last longer aka water clean if you how to maintain it and it required DIY as well which required patient. thanx bro, still sketching some plans for my future big tank and its filter system. so i guess 8ftooter tank with 1 sump tank and with additional a few cannister filters will be enough?
