Down with maintenance...

i just bought Seachem Flourish Excel and treated my 2ft tank as recommended by LFS. added 5ml each day. now is day 2. shall I add another dose in tomorrow. Worry about overdose.

Use a per instruction by seachem. if got sensitive fauna half of t
he recommended dosage.

jaga-jaga...

i tried it b4... i din over dose it, and in fact, since i knw how strong it is, i reduced the dose...end up riccia turn white..

yup. dont give direct contact to moss, riccia and several plants that i cant remember the names. It wont work for: riccia, vallisneria, egeris densa, hydrilla and liverworts.

alright. the instruction says: 5ml/40L water. After that 5ML/200L water.

My tank is 2ft, it is about 60x30x25= 45L. I already pour in 5ml x 2days. Today gotta reduce to 1ml.

I will put the SAE to clean up the hair algae. should be tasteful for them now.

Hi guys, anyone have any recommendation to remove Blue-green algae?? my tank suddenly full of Blue-green algae might be because of my dirty filter. Already washed my filter, removed Blue-green algae using tolls (some small chunk fell back in), have Amano shrimps, Red Cherry Shrimps and Oto in it too. Still no reduction of Blue-green algae but growing back... Guess all the shrimps couldn't eat it and filter not removing it either...

Hi. try blackout but u have to dose nitrate.

im just starting this hobby, so i try with the simple one first. but i have several question;

can neon do well with guppy?
cause i have several pair of neon + guppy in one tank but i have trouble to feed the neon. cause when the flakes at the top of the water, guppy will eat all of them.

any tips?

Dose nitrate won't that make it worst?

Ow ya, doing 1 day light and 1 day off sequence and 1pm - 8pm, which I guess is low lighting for the plant to grow is that bad? or that is minimum for the plant? tried put 9 hours but mostly have lots of other algae issue..staghorn, hair, Black Beard Algae and green spot algae...

can i know ur tank dimension, soil, light type and wattage, co2 injected or not

Hi im having a guppy and several neons. They are doing well. i put my flakes first then guppy food as my neons will try to steal my guppy food. maybe u can try guppy food then flakes.

i think neon n guppy will keep eating when there is food even though they r very full like bloated stomach. i would say, dun overfeed them. mean to say, feed same qty everytime. dun worry about them getting hungry. these small fishes eat some algae n plant bits as their supplement food as well (i notice my guppies snipping/pinching off some rotala).

overall, as time goes by, they will know n rush for food when they know u r coming. train them!

get the sinking type fish food
tetras prefer the sinking type
guppy, they dont care sinking or floating they will catch anything near to them

if over feed of ur fish , than they out put alost, make ur water unstable

correct me if i was wrong

Hi sifus,

For most of the planted tanks other than putting anti-chloride and fertilizer, did you guys also put salt inside it?
Thanks in advance.

No salt pls

any LFS in equine park/puncak jalil? need to get some tetras and shrimp, maybe yamato.

@naoki
use anticbiotic to remove BGA, u can go to NA ss19, ask ah yee for the medicine...

no fauna consume this bacteria, but some said molly might help
BGA is more on flow rather than dirty filter...check ur flow is it circulate well....or u can add air pump at the effected area

but the guppy food will be at the top of the water for a while dont they?

so i will try to find the sinking type.

rite now im not overfeed it. at least the water is not smelly and still crystal clear.
