if ur tank is small..... my 12" X 10" X 12", nano tank on top i use the CO2 container.
if small like below photo nano tank, tab will do. this is only from my understanding, not experiance... cos the nano tank ontop is my 1st plated tank... if success then i will make my small nano tank also. its about 7" X 5" X 6".   |

the plants tank u need to keep yamoto shrimp to keep the grass clean, one cleaning fish if the tank not big, water change 30% once 1 mth maybe.. will do.
yes CO2 is for the plant to grow n also need fertilizer. n need the light too. lol Diyana, u should say my tank is STILL nice LOL cos i just plant them on sunday.. no one know what will happen 2 weeks later hahahaha...later all kong if small small nano tank u can use CO2 Tabs. if bigger then just get a CO2 system or container. u can make ur own CO2 too This post has been edited by nezumitaro: Mar 22 2007, 08:52 AM |

QUOTE(cskeong @ Mar 22 2007, 09:52 AM) hmm nice to have a new enthusiast. water change is necessary. it is unavoidable unless you want your fish floating upside down WAWW 50% weekly??? how about with heavy plants? aquariums are not like the normal environment where you have fresh water from rain and river flowing into lakes, seas and what nots. aquarium is a closed environment. unless you have a heavily planted tank and few fishes, water change have to be done quite frequent loh. brother nezu.......30% per month arh??some forumner suggest 20%-50% weekly leh...........my puny tank is 1.5 feet length, 7 inch in width and 11.5 inch in height.pics already taken now looking for card reader for my camera card so that i could upload and get some comments hehe but to be really safe get a test kit and to test on water quality regularly so you know when you should change. |
