mine still controllable. when i see more than 4 that i can see, then i will take any snail that is over the limit. esp the big one

mind to share how normally you did that? is it soaked in high-salt-contains water enough? I afraid if i missed on the egg part

i never do that just rinse with tap water. coz i purposely put that snail to the tank, just manage the numbers.

if there is numbers of snail in ur tank, than use a bit of cabbage leaf, stick to the inner wall of the tank to lure them out and u can remove lot of them after that. instead to pick them out one by one

good practices, put in activated carbon in the filter as well to remove pesticide/fert residue in new plants,
snails -> very subjective, some like it some don't , but if you want to kill all the snails in new plants with chemical then Don't put in the activated carbon first cos it will remove medication as well. After those pest snails removed then only use activated carbon.

submerge with activated carbon is essential when u have invertebrates coz the pesticide that maybe being used or the fert that have something that shrimp are not well with them.

but for only planted or fish only i donno if have huge advantage, but its a good practice

no carbon...it will make ur ferts useless...

so in conclusion, shall i do it like this for my 22x16x15cm moss & shrimp tank?

1, 1.5L bottle for the yeast & sugar mixture.

2, is this alright for bubble counter(gas separator) instead of using 500ml bottle?

3, i'll be using cigarette filter as my diffuser

4, some suction cups to secure the tube to the glass

5, 2 check valves

6, btw, went to shop for check valves.. rm5 each dont know if it's expensive or cheap cause it's plastic
looks something like this

7, air control valve rm 3.50 for 1. (do i really need this?) looks like this


8, am i missing anything?

When there was 1 snail...
I thought it was cute Awww... 1 little cute snail...

Now got 10 of them I was like WTF you came from...
Get lost!!!

True story~

that one hell of a price of checkvalve... ....its kinda expensive for me..
nice bubble counter..didnt know got diy for that...

u got super glue or silicone to seal it? DIY main problem is leakage...

clear CO2 tubing? got ?

rm5 for checkvalve - too expensive.
air control valve if u wanna to control the flow at night but the preassure in the bottle will be higher too

yes.. got both silicone(balance from a geo project) & super glue.. but i'll go with super glue instead..
co2 tubing check 10ft more than enough IMO

hmm will go to another shop on friday to see their prices then
haha cuter than 500ml bottle right? but dont know if it's a good choice..

ya i think supa glue is better than silicon...

the usage for 500ml bottle is to make the alcohol go away from the air bubble rite? then i donno if that small water volume can help in long term.

Bro dont use 500ml...

Last time i used 500ml...

Now i am using 1L

exactly what im thinking.. i takut it bursts.. haha..

silicone is hard to seal without trapping air bubbles

with 500ml your fish make the drunken dance?

Ya sure drunken dance...

if that's the case, does it mean that i just omit the syringe idea & use 1L bottle as gas separator & bubble counter?

oh thanks for the tips!!! the soil is some leftover from a friend who got them from LFS, he also have no idea what soil it is...

emily: i did a DIY my co2 two days ago, i use "IV Drip" set cost me rm5 from pharmacy, it has around 1 meter tube, needles, one way valve thing, and a drip control valve.... i used those wet tissue as filter, and yea, they create real tiny bubble too. the drip control valve are able to completely close the airflow if u wanted it to stop. but my tube on the bottle cap burst the silicon out yesterday coz pressure too high~ i need to redo the recipe and use superglue for the bottle cap tubing.

cool.. almost all in 1 haha! whch pharmacy btw?
please post a picture soon
