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 

@nezumitaro

seriously, im a newbie in this hobby too. but sure I'll share whatever i know with my extremely limited noobness knowledge.  i dun dare to say much except for the newbie stuff because i dun think i am at the right place yet to comment on others scape. hahaha~!

@red_dream

hmm, for a tank below RM100...i wish i can find em too. >_< rarely to find a co2 tank below RM100. the cheapest i can see is around RM180-200+. but bro, if you're looking for having a co2, maybe you could try this : http://www.petmountain.com/shop/standard/c...lant-system.jpg

it's more like a commercial DIY co2. hahha..~! i never tried it before but i will give it a try very soon with my new tank later (no time to setup atm). i saw this in Pet Family at Taman Megah KJ at around RM70+. but not really this brand. but it;s just the same mechanics. need to buy the refill pack monthly as they mentioned in their packaging.

last week end i go back home and have a makeover of my nano tank.

plants all growing very well... minor algae build up but no worries, purposely trigger it to feed my otos.... lolz...

i added some cheap ghost shrimp to test water.... so far so good... no one jumped out from the tank... i guess few days later only go hunt for nice shrimps, after another water change soon... is it ok to mix ghost shrimps n amano shrimps together??... ghost shrimp not pretty at all...
ADA bacterball seems smaller abit compare to dat one....
