Hahah... nice... So Foo, what happen to the other tank?

Heheh... you never moss ah? Moss would look nice. So you got CO2 supply? How bout the temperature of your tank? Ai, I can't go far with my small tank also since the temperature is always 20C to 30C.... kills the plants that I put in.... coz the tank is really very small.

ah hun keep the temp under 29 will do. get a small fan may help.

no i don't put temperature cos the water is cool, unless i feel warm water that means more than 29 oledi.

yes got CO2 loh hehhehe the old one dig out all this is the old tank

if this success i will make my baby nano tank, the one VERY VERY small one... smaller that urs one.. hehehhee canot wait.

Moss ah... no wor... i get all cheap plant now.. see how it goes 1st.

hey u go get CO2 tab ler.. may help ur growing.

bottom put stone then only put soil.

Hahaha... I know.... but I saw the fan, expensive... I wanna DIY own fan but now no time yet to do lah. The best temp is 27C for me.... if lower, lagi nice.

CO2 tab how much? You bought your stuff at 88 marine?

yes i got the thing in 88.

now i hope the riccia will grow fast hahaha

CO2 tab 10+ a box ah... got 30 tab or something like that.

Nice one. Anyway, what kind of fish do you wanna put in that tank?

not sure yet... could be just a few tetra.. but not until 2 - 3 weeks later

so co2 tab is enough? no need the equipment?

if ur tank is small..... my 12" X 10" X 12", nano tank on top i use the CO2 container.

if small like below photo nano tank, tab will do.

this is only from my understanding, not experiance... cos the nano tank ontop is my 1st plated tank... if success then i will make my small nano tank also. its about 7" X 5" X 6".

No so sure about this, but I've only started this hobby in January, but if you tie riccia to wood, won't that come lose easily? Most that I see are secured to via hairnet.

As for CO2, I use a DIY yeast CO2.

The big white stone is a bit distracting though. Try these links to help you get started:

yeah..i love this kind of tank..i've seen one at XL fish shop at shah alam...they put some little shrimp in their tank...very nice!

If i go there again, i'll snap some photo for u

For DIY CO2, I just use a 1.5 liter bottle and add 2 teaspoon of sugar and slightly less than 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Will last me about 5-6 days.

I use a 375ml bottle for my 1.5gallon cube on my office desk. Works well for me.

I'll post some pics when I get home.

2 teaspoon of sugar?
I use 2 cups of sugar can only last me 1 week!!

LOL. Bad typo.

Should be 2 CUPS sugar and 1/2 teaspoon yeast.
