Guys. Anyone of you know what type of algae that surface on the rock? Hair Algae?

Nope. it's been few months.

Is there someone selling T5 bulbs only with 10-12k kelvin? I'm from melaka and still new to the area. thanks.

Anyone from Penang willing to give away some moss ? or sell it cheap to me. By the way, is co2 injection necessary for aquarium plant ? What is the light that we normally use for aquarium plant ? any recommendation ?

any idea how to prevent this thing from happening ? fighting with these green algae stuff for few months but still cant get rid of it.

the aquarium is located at outside of the house. got a bit sun shine during the day but i had tried to cover it with woods and clothings to prevent this from happening but it seems didnt work out that well... Im currently using FILTRO 2.0 filter that LFS claim 100% to remove algae, all in one solution.......... 

Hi all sifus~~~

This is my 1st post of tank, the tank is about 90 Days old, the HC is growing too slow, i was thinking to insert root fert to boost the growth of HC.
Any advice?

Hi guys

Im planning to set up a low tech small planted tank (1ft+). Want to add some driftwood or stones inside.

Just wondering, is it safe to use the stones n wood found by the riverside? Do I need to boil the stones as well?

Thanks!

The livestock would just be guppies, perhaps an algae eater/otto in the future.

Rock im probably gonna get the ADA ryu stones. Just that this weekend gonna go to a waterfall, perhaps can find some nice ones as well. If the rock has algae/moss on it, would it be sufficient to just scrub them off with a sponge? or need to soak in something?

Who wants to volunteer to be a fish in this tank?

hi guys, apart from using wood.. Anyone can give me other idea to DIY a light stand for my tank ? I do not want to hang the light as well.

hi guys, im facing some problem here,

I got planted tank in my room, everything goes well, it is bare bottom tank, not carpet, just start planting monte carlo. Other plant, riccia, fissiden, moss, rotala and bacopa.

I got assassin snail and cherry shrimp house in that tank, everything looks fine, got berried mommy.

the egg owned by one of the mommy has been hatched. I saw the shrimplet the day it hatched, but on the next day, I never saw the shrimplet. don't know either they are hiding in the riccia or what so ever.

FYI, I am using surface skimmer... and HOB

there are another mommy shrimp that berried, I don't want the same thing happen... Kindly advise me on this matter...

Anyway, want to ask if its wrong to keep co2 running everyday even the lights are off when I'm away at work ? I usually come home after work everyday and turn on the light for 1 to 3 hours a day. Please advice.

Hi all,

here's my low tech, low cost planted tank..

the cabombas and coontails are growing fast, moss balls seems to be growing too, but the Christmas moss at the bottom, the java ferns on the front right and the ferns at the back arent doing so great.. are these plants naturally slow growing or do they need co2 to grow?

had my lighting on about 16 hours a day, and i've put in nitrate, ammonia, carbon and phosphate reducer media in the top filter box.
there's some minor algae growth around the tank, but not serious.

what pic? tank pic is in post #852
