Hi folks! Just did a second rescape to my tank. Previously was like shit because of my laziness . Any comment guys?

yea pic taken without only 1 light on haha, will upload another clear pic of it later.

RO water for planted tank?

Even if for shrimp tank I heard from experience shrimp keeper is not a necessity as well. I myself kept shrimp before as well but not using RO water

yeap i just use tap water only... just make sure there is no chlorine in the water. If yes just get some anti-chlorine will do

Other than that i didn't bother to check also.... lalala haha

yea ammonia if its in a controlled amount then it is not harmful, just don't disturb ur soil if not ammonia will spiked then it will be disaster
u can google abit about ammonia in aquarium, i nvr study one just base on guts feeling haha

the plant beside the rock? its Alternanthera reineckii




here is a clearer picture with sufficient lights (iphone 5 camera quality )

yo, i personally have used puffer fish before. it will go and hunt all the snails/things that is crawling on the glass/plants including ur weaker fish. puffer fish will chase it around n bite its tail until it weakened and unable to swim, killing it slowly. well that is what i notice always buy only 1 puffer because if you buy more than that it will boss around ur tank and put ur other live stock in danger lolz.


btw anyone have any idea on how to get rid of hair algae? its bothering me enough already. i have done my water change twice a week. lessen my lighting to 3 hours a day only. ensure co2 is enuf in my tank. but still the hair algae persists! everytime i do water change i will need to plug it off the rock + plants zzz... damn annoying
