Haha yeah, my bad for not testing before buying sad.gif

One of my goldfish died actually just 2 days after I got my aquarium, after that I got an air pump with 2 nozzles, I'm using it (shown in the picture) so I don't think it's oxygen problem hmm.gif Ya, I actually just feed them a while ago, something like a pinch of fish food maybe? Don't wanna overfeed them too much later poop too much lolz

your filter flow is so slow, dripping, its is u adjust it to that speed or that is the max speed of flow u can get? if max then u need to clean your filter.

ps. im using OF HOF biggrin.gif

looks like the water is poisonous.. laugh.gif
better do a partial waer change daily till the good bacta colony is established.
IMHO, adding another xtra filter, a cannister filter will help it greatly(glad ure looking for another one) and ifgot extra cash to spare,
investing in ADA Bacta Ball or Seachem Stability will aid as a catalyst to speed ure good bacta colony growth. Also, upgrading to a bigger tank with better filtration is much more advisable and will cost you less in the long run.  thumbup.gif

well technically you can, if you intent to save up ure money on buying those cheapy RM1.50 decholorinator and putting extra work on collecting those rainwater...
but you cant be so sure the rainwater in youre place is hygenically clean ans safe for fish use. Unless you have extra water test kit, and you wiling to waste them on rainwater..
better buy those cheap anti-chlorine, or save up some money and buy those very good but concentrated and a bit tad expensive decholorinator.
Or, you can use tap water that had been left over for a day/or put in air pump in them to make an anti-chlorine free freshwater. but seriously, if just buy the cheap ones if ure in a pinch, saves you a lot of troubles.

i have the anti-chlorine. just wanna know if its better to use rainwater or not. thanks biggrin.gif thumbup.gif

don't see the benefit of rainwater. for worse, the rainwater might contain pollutants. at least with tap water, its safe for consumption.

having said above, u can always try and monitor the changes.

So happy to see so many beautiful works by aspiring aquascapers...

Anyways ya, rainwater nowadays isn't like those days. Nowadays lotsa factories and cars so our rainwater is polluted.

Tap water + a dose of good anti-chlorine will ensure our plants and fishes will be in tip top condition.

Happy scaping...

ok thanks for the conformation biggrin.gif

Yes actually you need to fert your tank.

If you depend on natural fertz from fish sh!t than I dont think your plants will have enough fertz... Lol...

About fertz its very hard for me to explain coz I am not a pro.

Our sellers here should be able to help you.

I just read the label and think.
If it says it will make your plant greener - Yea I want that so i bought it.
If it says it will make your plant red-er - Yea I want that too so i bought it too.
Than it says it will make your substrate good, ensure your bacteria colony is healthy for generations, ensure absorbancy of nutrients. - Yea of coz I want those too.

So in the end I bought the whole set smile.gif
But I can see my plants growing well and healthy except for my carpet coz its so hard to root them.

so u buy the dry one or the solution one like aquavitro?

No problem la I cycle my tank 2 to 3 days only.
Add bacteria it will be faster.

I want to see fishes swimming fast so my cycle is very short.
This often leads to death of fishes... sad.gif

same to me. cant wait for see the fish swims around doh.gif

lucky no die accept the shrimp that make the kamikaze to the floor sweat.gif

i cant test cause i dont have test kit ><
yay! hate leaving mosses in other thanks for quarantine..
so i just throw in come fish food & let it rot? haha

btw, for mosses in general, what's the lowest & highest temp they can survive in?
in the morning/night my room is cold & the water temp goes down to 18 degrees.. lol
afternoon no aircond, so im sure it'l be around 27 or 28 degrres (means i need to get a fan)
will this type of clip on fan work? lol can't find proper fan for this tiny aquarium user posted image

mosses i have now: java & xmas
mosses that i plan to get: subwarsetang, flame moss, fissidens

mine 26. if u can get lower to 25 its ok. 18 too cold imho. the fish and the moss will be shivering brows.gif

planning to get Borneo Wild Fertilzers...kinda noob at this...anyone experience with this kind of ferts?

Vivid is for?
Lush is for?
Essence K is for?
Growth is for?
*
Vivid is made for fast-growing stem plants in a high-lighted tank. It is designed the bring out the reds in stem plants while maintaining a healthy and lush growth.

Lush is made for low to mild-lighted tank with low-demanding aquatic plant species such as mosses, anubias, cryptocorynes, and ferns.

Growth is a powerful source of bio-available organic carbon with a blend of minerals. It promotes lush plant growth in aquariums with or without CO2 fertilization, and enables the plants to compete better against algae

Essence K is a concentrated source of potassium and trace elements.
