jentik2? if it is mosquito living inside the tank, the guppy already eat them up. maybe is just like foo said, maybe is dragonfly baby.
foo, the water just 30% ar, me every time wc time also take out 2 full water of pail le, so i guess i suck out about 60% of water, is it ok? |

QUOTE(coldfusionpower @ Oct 24 2008, 03:56 AM) the tank is downstairs and my parents bising the electric bill so dam high after installing the metal hallide and chiller. huhuhu .. thats why i convert to cichlid tank . my mom like it and even give approval for new 8ft tanganyika cichlid tank in the future. talking about photoperiod, i used to open the light for 8 hours. Not long after that, i tried 10 hours. Noticed some spot algae growing on the glass.... takpe .. kejab jer .. last time also i like that. tank back in kl .. i have to study at seremban. only each weekend can see. yes weekend. i come back kl each weekend for a full year just to trim and make sure my plants, otto, tetras are alive ... nolah . biase jer ...u should see my room when my sugar glider and ferret stay in the same room with me .. lagi packed ... i would say the amount of the co2 bps more depands on your scape rather than tank size. more dense scape needs more lights,longer photoperiod and more co2 .. is 10 hours too long? |

Hi All . I m new to this forum ...have been keeping a planted tank for about 3 years now...
Plants are growing but i noticed that in some part of the aquarium, the growth is not so good ... I suspect it could be due to the lighting .... as such i m planning to get some "T5" lights... anyone can tell me the price for these lights and where to buy it ...i have a 5" X 2" X 2" aquarium.. TQ very much ...
