    Going away for 4 weeks, so added a dozen low grade cherries to the tank as dinner.





    Hope the Cardinal Tetras don't eat everything at one go.

    Hahaha, just a normal photo. No way I can produce better images when I am still using my Nikon D5100.

    Coming to 3 years now, and I've done less than 15 water changes. Hahahah, really happy that everything still held up great despite having little to no maintenance.

    Cold weather this month also means the mosses are growing better and greener.

    Really love this small patch of BBA growing on my driftwood, it feels so natural.

    Happy holidays everyone.

    Added some Limnophila Aromatica some weeks back. No more melting and growing in submersed form.

    Thank you for the comment. Sorry I made it look easy but in actual fact it isn't. Compare to my other hobbies, this one that gives me the most stress.

    I expect more problems when this tank hits the 4 year mark this Dec.

    Might be time to upgrade the lights. Cardinals under this led looks amazing.

    3 years of unkept, uncut trident, java and narrow ferns. They are intertwined into a huge bunch now. Very very messy. Hahahaha.

    Chilling day for a chill tank. Good day to do water change, finally after 2 months of zero maintenance.


    These Daiso threads really good, more than 3 years still didn't disintegrate.

    Re: 3FT Low maintenance, low light, co2 tank

    So I have been feeding brine shrimp for 6 months now.

    This is the coloration of my Cardinal Tetras.

    In honesty, it's not too fantastic.



    Here is a quick start up for those who want to try.

    Very fragile thin stems. Ludwigia super red mini.
    But more like super brown in my tank due to low light.

    Updating the thread with non aquatic content unfortunately this time round.

    A certain individual charsiew over at EDMW gangster threatens to "settled" with me. Ask me for contacts and so on.

    So I thought it would be nice to meet up when I have free things to give to members.

    Giving him this opportunity to express his 369 gangsterism at the roundabout.

    This is a 4 year old setup already.

    Didn't do much water change this year. I think only 6-7 water changes.

    No dosing of ferts. No chiller. No fan. Just co2. Tank temperature 31 degrees.

    Hygrophila pinnatifida pearling and growing well.
