looks good macrusin. wats the indicator colour when u r running ur co2? the one in pic seems under...

for those having BBA algae problems, you may try keep some
Apple snails or be sold as mystery snails , i bought 9 for fun, and they totally
unexpectedly eat all the BBA on my filter outlet , air hose and wood,
but be warn , they have huge appetite for food although they won't touch your live plants and shrimps, they will compete with your fish and shrimps for every food throw in.
Good things they unlike ramshorn snails won't breed readily and actually need a pair in order to breed.

really nice setup , waiting for the plants grow ,

My Co2 indicator fluid does not change color at all.
I did asked some aqua shop, they said my fluid is old product doesn't consist 1 element. That's why the color remain the same.

i do have some old fluid, keep quite sometime in store , dont know still can use or not.

Well done Mr Macrusin. Nice setup.
About your co2 indicator i think you have to change to a new one. Maybe the Ista refill or CAL co2 indicator by aqualab. it is very impotant to get a good co2 amount in your tank for your plants.

Hello there. Cant wait to see your tank!!

May i ask, anyone knows how to close a thread in the pet store section?

Cool bro. Good info!

if want to know can use or not, try to pump co2 directly into the indicator. if turn to yellow means OK. but pls make sure to mix with 4dkh water for right col our indication.

like button.. make sure also it is blue in color also while its in th
e container..

sound like SAE is a threat to my shrimp. How about flying fox? are they effective on removing algae, and are they threat to shrimp?

All of them are a threat to shrimps. the sae is the safest. provided if your shrimp die, u remove it quickly. I was lazy. a shrimp died i left it for the sae as their snack. next thing i know sae rasa syok and hunt my shrimps..

The flying fox they eat algae when are young. when they become adult, they prefer normal foods.

My tank is a pico tank...
Its actually an Ikea Square Vase

I am a newbie in this line...
I am waiting for my Seiryu Rocks to start my 2ft tank.

Can't wait

cant wait , later in the morning go buy and setup

I almost got everything except the rock.

HEHE
