FAILURE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SUCCESS
Bro thanks for the compliments. The holder came with the aqualighter 2. You can choose either the metal stand or this acrylic stand.
Don't worry, when you get back you'll have a chance to engage in extensive snail crushing sessions... the fishes and shrimps will get fresh escargot delicacy for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It's usually not an issue... snail shells are relatively soft (especially the smaller ones) and they don't scratch the glass when crushed. Just don't scrape the metal pincettes across the glass.
During my snail infestation tank days, i was smashing snails every day against the glass and then the fishes and shrimps will automatically scoot over and start snacking on them.
It does depend on the type of snails though, pond and ramshorn snail shells are soft, but malayan trumpet snail shells can be hard so need more strength to break.
If you are worried, just pick up the snails with the pincettes and crush them away from the glass, then feed them directly to the fishes and shrimps. When you see shrimps eagerly grabbing a crushed snail from the pincettes and fighting over the bits of meat and shell, you might start to make "snail crushing" a side hobby.
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Yes it will. I once tried to scoop all the snail on the glass with a sponge, figuring it would be a quick way to remove the snail in 1 move, the glass has multiple scratches from the snail.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
Yeah, crushing them against the glass is okay, but wiping them across with sponge will scratch it... similar to if gravel or sand got caught in the sponges when cleaning tank glass.
Any one got ideas who the bloody hell would be a culprit that cut my steam plants. It cut 2 of my steam plants from the substrate.
based on your current load, my guess will be Yamato and SAE
you are referring to stem plants right? steam plants will be cooked and can be eaten liao
Yeah, most likely the bottom sections of the stems rotted or melted (or got bent/damaged during planting), then the shrimps and snails munch away at the rotting section and the stem eventually detach. Quite common.
Haizzzz.....dunno what's my aquarium look like once i got home on the 20th
Last time i recall the plants already deeply rooted. So it means everything should be doing ok right.
Plants that are rooted in well are good, but sometimes the stems themselves may have been slightly damaged from planting or bent during maintenance, so those affected parts gradually rot and break away. It happens occasionally, not a big issue. Quite often the detached stem sections are still healthy, so can just replant them.
can ask your wife to send you photos ma..
never mind lar.. tomorrow you'll be back
After going back to Singapore for 3 week here is my aquarium look like20150411.jpg :
Shadow.. I feel you. The bloody solenoid faulty after 3 days only. Wasted money on it. Now looking for a good brand. Hope someone can advise me.
Guys need some help how to dose my aquarium.
I bought the following things.
2015-Fertilizer.jpg
My Aquarium is 60x30x36. The Florish iron instruction was 1 capful (5ml) or each 200L. For Flourish 1 capful(5ml) for each 250L.
And lastly the prime 1capful(5ml)f9r each 200L. I'm using a 20 Liter backet.
Question:
1. How many ml of iron can i put twice a week.
2. How many ml of flourish i can put twice a week.
3. How many ml for prime i can put on a 20 liter bucket.
4. Is this enough to make my plant health. because most of the plant are tall but leaves are small but they all reaching the top of the aquarium.
I'm not so happy with the plant growth so i replanted it.
Here is the latest pic after replanting it.

I also change my inflow and outflow to glass lilypipe.
I just planted HC on my aquarium as of 10/4/2015/ Going to monitor its growth. Crossing finger it wont melt and it will thrive.
