guys,i just bought a nano tank, size is approximately 30X20x20cm. Got a few small fish and some plant from xian long shah alam along with some gravel and coral-ish sand(dunno what its called) Being a complete noob,i dont get any substrate or proper lighting,thinking the plant can survive on its own. Its kept in a dim room with some sunlight shines directly to it but at a really low intensity. after i set up the tank,i spend a few hours online to get a clue on aquascaping.thinking adding some low light foreground plants and do i need a proper lighting for it? Can you guys guide me on where to buy substrate,plants and do i need fertilizers?. Was gonna visit aquascape paradise shah alam and fish depot PJ today to survey. also thinking bout adding a crayfish or bettas to the community but issit safe? Im trying to keep my tank as low cost as possible until i have enough knowledge to venture to high tech tank with co2 and all. sorry if im being vague..i have little clue on what i should include. Guide me please

QUOTE(jenniferjen @ Sep 22 2015, 08:24 AM) Darn, a manual type tahan for 5 years? I hope he still selling. I do some troubleshooting last night. Quite confirm reg faulty. I connect the regulator terus to diffuser, after a while pressure drop as misty bubble become less from diffuser. Let it be then this morning, no co2 coming out at all. Turn a bit of the faucet from regulator then co2 come again. Kinda frustrated I have an OF manual regulator. Works well for me. Gv consistent bps everytime and i set it to run for 10hrs.im planning to upgrade to solenoid type. Do let me know if u want mine. Item is still new. Not even 1 month

If 30x30,u can try fluval set. Quite cheap. But it uses the disposable co2 canister. Good for u to get a hang of it but if u can poke some extra budget, around 200 u can get a starter kit. How it last depends on how much u use. For 30x30 u might be running on 1 bps nly so its gonna last long
