    Amazing.

    Really inspired me to redo my 40cm tank since I don't have much luck selling it away.

    But would like to consult you.

    For hairgrass growth,, is it a must to have co2?
    What light are you using?

    not too sure if hairgrass can grow without co2, never try before.

    as for the light set, am using the aquazonic T5 light.

    Is that a sulawesi shrimp (ie. cardinal shrimp) near the base of the rock? How well is it adapting to the lower pH water conditions?

    recently just found out that when Panda Loach grows up, they do not look so nice and lost the black and white bandings...

    Re: Return to planted tank 2

    UA asked about the Sulawesi shrimp because it is known not to take well to planted tanks... I surmise you will end up with that poor fella gone too. They are too brittle. Need a specialized environment.

    Re: Return to planted tank 2

    Yeah, i've always been tempted to keep sulawesi shrimps too... but based on common recommendations, they are supposed to require higher pH (7.5-8.5) water conditions, it tends to be abit of a mis-match for our low-pH planted tanks, especially Co2-injected tanks which usually regularly drop down way below pH 6.0 levels.

    I've heard that they can adapt to lower pH conditions though, so just wondering if its actually possible and if anyone has actually successfully done it (and are able to keep these nice shrimps alive for more than a few months).
