Thanks for the tips bros,

I guess I did it the wrong way.

At first when i bought it, it was so beautiful and so green.
Now its like melting n getting brown.

I guess i don't have chiller that's why.
And I took out the Co2 for it.

Aih no money to buy Chiller la I see its so damm expensive.
Luckily my new 2ft tank its in my room and got air cond.

akadama soil they use it for bonsai one... but if u use as undergravel filter can soften the water..
tot maintain one tank.. cannot arr.. my shrimp population explode d.. tat one feet tank cannot tahan edi.
planing a undergravel filter 1ft.

Can! its like ada soil but no nutrient abit like jbl soil... ive read i cant remember which forum d.. the guy uses it instead of aquasoil.. he manage to grow a very nice carpet of marselia. and also stem plants. but he put base fert sticks la..

yes blackout combine with excel is the best.

bro derick, you are right. +1 

i intend control the algae, then start CRS after CNY. seems like the water is stable, Cherry survive. so it is time to upgrade.

I've been looking for Akadama for AGES!!
asking around nursery (garden) do they have soil for bonsai, refer to Akadama.
what i get are same answers "any soil can do bonsai one!" with that look on their face
thinking i'm some crazy person. 

Where got Akadama in Malaysia. let me know

Seller Alert!!!

NO SELLING HERE PLS!!!

LOL i know u never sell magnifying glass la...

HEHE

T_T pls dun....



btw, after trying out the full set of dry fert dosing, my curled leaves on the java fern and echinodorus seems to be recovering. much thanks to Kiminha's help on the dosage too.

next up is my diy manual regulator + solenoid controller.. hehe... waiting for it to arrive.

i've also shorten the distance of my 2 x 50w light from 6.5" distance to 3.5" distance from water surface. i hope this will give more light power to my plants. probably cooked some of them in the process... haha

no la.. i just try out for fun. i wanted to save some $ on electricity. tats why i went for the led spotlight... but i think end up still better to keep to standard PLL or T5HO lights.. haha

just when to a nursey nearby my place today.. found something he says is burned clay.. and it wont break apart in water... but just seems like broken brick to me...dirty cheap one big pack rm2.50 but no akadema available sadly.. wait for deric79k to find out!!

if you magnifying glass can snap shot the SAE and let me check its mustage then i certainly will buy it

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.

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

I almost got everything except the rock.

HEHE
