go go buy .... if dont buy ... and i see u complain about mixing the yeast again , i kick ur ..a@@ ...  

depance ur budget ler.

jz WC my tank today.... my remaining yamato is not where be seen... 

one question to ask sifu sifu here...

if my aquarium doesnt have filter, i only have air pump..

is tat okay??

as i'm a beginner, i thinking of trying the bottle CO2 treatment...the one that directly plug from the bottle and straightaway to the diffuser...

is tat advisable to try tat?

Using an air pump will NOT reduce CO2 in the tank.It just adds more diluted air into the water.

ya ...that what they( sifu) told me to...that y they keep the water level in the aquarium high to prevent from water ripple by the water filter...anyway i just broke my diffuser..anyone know wat the price now?

fiew!!! finally read all the post here
im into planted tank too started like 7 yr ago starts from 2 then 3 feet where its stil runing .... but tat time info and equitment are limited and exp so stop like 3yr later sell the tank to my uncle....
now got poisen enough to started planted thank again hahaha....

latest view of my 2ft, still hvn't decide what for the frontground.. ignore the right side just temp park there. the background still need to add more vivipara

Hi Guys, i wanna ask, i got a 2ft low maintenance tank, will it be too overrated if i was using T5 or T5HO light?

post a photo will help

crs tank, hvn't fully 'furnish' yet.

try to use same color stone
left side need 2 more smaller stone and some tiny stone for touch up.
wood try to put 3 pcs, don't use 2, 4, 6...
make the background higher abit.
plants u need some background plants, meddium ground place ( to cover the back ground plants leg).

totally tak faham ah? or where tak faham..

1 - looks like you need to buy and if u wanna buy it, buy a smaller one. then u can play around with the arrangement of ur hardscape. try avoid using bogwood if your tank is small.

2 - your tank i assume not matured yet. yes you can uproot the stem plant first. they wont die easily when uprooted and re-plant back. it's still ok if u dun wan to make the backside higher. it;s not a must anyway. it just more for creating the depth. but u can achieve this with plant arrangement also.

3 - background plant normally a plant that grows high. usually is a stem plant. you can get vivipara or acicularis (for not so high tank) too. mid ground plant are those plant that is higher than ur foreground but shorter than background plant. got alot of plant range for this purpose like blyxa japonica, HG, mini java fern (but this one need to attach to something), anubias (also need to attach to something), etc etc.... have a look around on the net and read about their maximum growth. you;ll get the idea.

btw, im a newbie too. with my limited knowledge,my opinion might be against the pro's .

hahhaha just own opinion lah even number don't look nice no need uproot though just push some of the frontground soil up to the back

Who's know where i can find very cheap CO2 tank? around rm100

erm..catacomb bro, "small" i mean is not stones. i mean if you wanna go buy another wood, buy a smaller one. there's another type of wood beside bogwood and normally doesnt comes cheap. but you can buy the small size one like ranting2 size. the just cost around RM5-10 normally each. And for the stone you said want kutip from roadside, errr.. unless you know what is that stones and check for their alkalinity/acidity, then i hardly suggest you kutip em and put in your tank. they'll affect your water parameter and worst, even can make your fauna died overnight sometimes. 

yes, normally LFS will sell by kilos. RM4/kg is consider cheap price in fact (but im not sure what stones are you referring to anyway). ah, that's not the point. normallyy, we bought a big one, and then use hammer and a pick, and break em to smaller pieces. or..u can always hire those indonesian workers in construction site to help break em with their freaking big hammer (i never do this before...just came up on my mind tho).

for the plants, hmm... ya i can say not many LFS carrying plants for aquascapers. i also used to have a hard time too to find em. where do u stay? if around KL/Selangor i can help you with my shot paper list of "place-to-go-to-do-shopping"  LOL~!

p/s : btw, dun say ur DW not nice. for me, every nature is nice. just play around with it and eventually you'll know what to do with it. but it;s always good to have options 

The CO2 you mentioned is not worth the price. You can DIY yourself with less than RM10 bucks and refill for each time not more than RM3 though.

hey guys...

i tried step by step...currently my tank doesnt have CO2 and the soil...i bought sand only...but i've bought 3 plants.....i dun know the 2 plants but another one is java moss...the shop lady told me tat java moss cant grow without CO2...i dunnu whether is true or not..

because of budget constraint...tat's why no soil and CO2....

But i tied all 3 plants on a wood i bought....can the plant grow??

i have 2 cherry shrimps and one snail (the lady said is strawberry snail)but i tried to find in the net..i couldnt find.....will take a photo of my snail for u guys to help me to identify....and the tank too..my tank is 18" x 8" x 8"

another question..the lady said i need to have bacteria to make the tank clean....can sifu sifu here explain to me??

currently i have blue tetra, black tetra, blue eyes tetra and another 2 orange color fish...forgot the name..

thanks thanks...
