QUOTE(cskeong @ Mar 23 2007, 11:06 AM) crayfish can grow quite large and i think they might destroy your plants..... maximum it can grow is 6inch right ?. hahaha .. destroy the plant. hmm cancel la like this .. buy expensive plant, then they suka2 destroy the plant.   QUOTE(itssg @ Mar 23 2007, 11:09 AM) You can have a very low budget to up a planted tank. Gain some knowledge and experience first before you became rich and able to get expensive stuff. very low budget? how low are we talking about. i'm planning to get those red crayfish. look like lobster .. I had kept the red, blue, purple and other crayfish before. You can't mix all of them together. Unless you have very big tank. Otherwise, they will fight and eating up the loser. You can have a pair in a 2ft tank. Prefer to have some gravel, rock and wood for them to rest and hide. They do like strong water flow and full of oxygen. They eat everything...like vegetable, fruits, smaller fishes, pellet.  . 2ft tank ? aiyah .. i'm looking for used 2ft tank but no luck la . does planted tank and crayfish mix ? like in the quote above and some site i read, they like to destroy the plant and how about paludarium ? |

QUOTE Quote from http://www.amonline.net.au/factSheets/crayfish.htm like he said? hmm simple setup .. and cheaper too .. hahahaTo set up an aquarium for crayfish you need a good aeration system, 3-5 cm of sand, some small pebbles and some large hollow or cavernous rocks which the crayfish can hide in during the day, and plenty of long waterweeds. i ask about paludarium just bcoz i like how it look .. maybe it can be a nice hangout for the crayfish then can go inside the water back. ofcoz the top will be covered. about planted aquarium. does it really need co2 system even its a small one ? my plan is to use diy yeast co2 and diy co2 reactor. |

QUOTE(nezumitaro @ Jul 17 2007, 08:38 AM) 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. well . i do hv a 5lb tank from my car co2 cooler. i just dont hv regulator and ETC.. no money to buyyy !! 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.  the UV light. the thing is, i still hv a few item from both of my previous koi pond. i got two huge pump, 2 small pump, 1 big UV filter. thinking to use the UV filter for the killing bacteria thing. since it does do the same thing with light. whats a HOB filter ? hang on ? skimmer ? lol .. pening edi .. oklah . wanna go to 88 marine shop now .. adioz .. p/s: u all sure aa plastic tank can .. |

QUOTE(nezumitaro @ Jul 17 2007, 05:14 PM) 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. yup .. the filter case got UV bulb inside a waterproof glass container. later i post picture .plastic can. just not that nice.. u can get the normal 2ft glass tank only $23 mah.. 2x1x1 ft one..  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 RM23 ? u sure ? where ? it was just for the tank right ? dont hv cover right ? yeah . did see the skimmer just now at SS15 88 marine shop. but only hv two. price ok kot . yup i use pressurized CO2 tank (2000psi) as a additional cooling method for the intercooler. the selonid is busted tho. damansara damai ? where ? |

You might wanna consider getting a fan to keep your temperature down and timer for your lights. fan .. already put two but will add summore tomoro or tonight.p/s: my room got aircon . usually put it 25c .. ok or not ? this temp is the only one i can put. lower, my ferret will love it. too cold, my sugar glider will hate it . to hot , all three sugar glider and ferret hate and me hate lor . hahaha QUOTE(nezumitaro @ Jul 18 2007, 07:38 PM) count how many liter of water u hv 1st, then u will able to know how may Watt u need. how to count also i dont know .. hahaha .. let me get the calculator ..QUOTE(SweetPuff @ Jul 18 2007, 07:45 PM) Standard two feet tank is about 11 gallon. Having a dual flourescent 15 watt will give you about 2.7 watts per gallon, which is almost medium lighting already. ahaa. answer is answered .. hihihi .. so i need two 15watts tube . hmm . not suitable ? so what colour should i look for ? Good enough to handle most of the common plants. Do remember, bulbs that comes with the set most of the time gives out either yellowish or pinkish light, which is not suitable for plants. excuse me ... newbie passing truuu   |
