tadpole-x,

u plan to go for planted tank with fish?or shrimp?
if only fish, no need go till 25~26C, normal 27~28 will be ok, but need to put fan to cool it down.

is there a reason why your tubes are around the front?

i would suggest you do 2 things to your tank

1. put a black tape on it's borders. it'll make the tank look nice, as if photo frame
2. put black background

my thoughts la. that's what i did with my tank and i loved the effect.

there is limited space, i only can put there, somemore lazy to remove when took this pic....
the background, i put white, purposely 1....

ok. that one preferential la.

cos for me, i don't like to see tubings in front or behind.

black background to make the tank look nicer, the color contrast of black background and the fish + deco (aquascape) will make a difference.

did you visit Pet World Malaysia 2008? smile.gif MY-MAC organized aqua-scaping competition.

ya, i heard lots on the competition...
but no chances to go, too far for me, northern part of msia...
hehehe...

Ok,, thanks.

But what do you mean with a double tube?


Added on May 30, 2008, 12:28 pm

Huh? So got another branch also at Tmn Megah?

Ok, thanks. That sounds nearer to my place compare to Balakong.


Added on May 30, 2008, 12:33 pm

But are ferns, e.g. Java Fern are true aquatic plant?

Btw pinchboyz, wat plant is that at the right rear corner (looking to the computer screen)? The one with broad leaves?
I tot i wan to get one as well.  unsure.gif

Nice tank though!
*
I'm not sure whether java fern is aquatic plant onot.
the plant in rear is Aponogeton, no a good plant...
easy to grow...
and will flower, and the flower will explode and come out with flower powder in which ur whole tank will shocking.gif

Impossible to turn the aircon on for 24/7 ...  rclxub.gif

I guess I better get a heater so that the temperature stays at 29c all the time..

Otherwise my fish will get stressed with that 2.5c temperature drop at night when the aircon is turned on ..
*
29c?
ur plant will be sad....

What to do? Malaysia's temperature is like that ...

Night time when I turned on the air-con .. It goes to somewhere around 26c++ .. Daytime when the air-con already off.. I have to quickly shut the door so the temperature is still there.. Then switch on the ceiling fan.. It slowly raise in few hours time and then sticks on 28c but if the whether is hot, it will go max 29c.. Never reach 30c so far.. What do you think?
*
sry, i miss out something and i lazy to check back, how big is ur tank?
with aircond is 26? then wat temp u set for ur aircond when on?
26? 27?

i got 1 suggestion, put pc fan, or aquatic fan lo, if u on ur aircond, the fan will make the temp slightly 2~3 degree than ur ambient temp....

u might do this...
night time, when switch on aircond, make sure ur temp reach 25~26, then turn off the fan...
day time, turn on the fan....
