wah .. no update meh ? .. haha .. its been 4 months from last time i post here but never did made the planted tank . hahaha ..

just wanna do a mini one . my room got no room anymore . haha. this is what i hv now .

2ft plastic tank
4pc cooling fan on top of the aquarium
yeast co2  (much cheaper to made)
external water pump
UV filter (the water pump, pump the waters into the UV filter unit and flow it back into the tank)

stuff to buy soon .. need ur opinion on what model or type

nano co2 diffuser
substrate
filter
err. anything else i missed ?
*
lol cos the thread is merged last time. so i am lazy to post, but not sure when its open again.

ur DIY CO2, i am not sure is it enoguh pressure the CO2 throught the dissuser, some ppl say yes, some say no. if canot u can get a air stone too.

u don't see to hv UV light, its kill the good bacteria in ur water too. no need externail water pumpu too.

get a HOB filter with the right flow, withsurface skimmer, when plant photo period, they produce oil.

get light (count ur water, and check how many watt they need).

Ph tester

get a good soil if u can afort.

What soil you use? If the tank is small, I think no need skimmer right coz can scoop it out....

Foo, no pics of your tank ah?

I'm wondering if all the stuffs to start up a planted tank is available in Kch or not. Thinking of starting one when I go back to Kch for industrial training, since my dad is keeping some fishes as well, it shouldn't have any problem keeping that tank when I come back to Melaka again. My job is to poison him with the attractive tank and some basic knowledge brows.gif

HOB+ hang on back smile.gif

UV same as light? sorry canot get what u mean. light got the plant is replament of sunlight.. UV light will kill the good bacteria too. so u need o dose more thing in. pound is difference, UV in pond is more for green water.

plastic can. just not that nice.. u can get the normal 2ft glass tank only $23 mah.. 2x1x1 ft one.. smile.gif

surface skimmer is the filter take water from your water also from the water surface.. take away all the protine the plant produce.

5lb tank for car? is it liquid or powder? if it used for powder then canot use the tank. use liquid CO2 then ok.

if u can go damansara damai there, u get a better deal compare with 88 smile.gif
