All the equipment must have cost a bomb...

Your tanks looks nice! I think you should go get a 3 or 4ft tank, with more space you'll have more room for creativity in your aquascape.

Nice setup!

I've upload your pictures into the gallery and linked them in for better impact. You might want to check that out. AQ now has personal as well as category galleries for our members.

Cheers,

Hi,
I lugged it back from Tokyo in 1997 cost me $700 sing dollars. with the filter and lights. I got my ADA CO2 regulator and supply separately during a clearance sales from the first ADA agent here. Got myself a whole box (24 cylinders) of the mini CO2 bottles which last me for almost 3 good years. Unfortunately, it cannot be refilled/recharged. Now not available I have thus replaced it with standard 1.5 litres cylinder recently only. Using back its other glass apparatus - bubble counter, ruby check valves, diffuser etc..

BTW, last check the price for this ADA tank alone (20cm cube seamless glass) locally cost $1200! never know price for tank can appreciate one!

ruby check valves, diffuser etc..

Hope this is not OT, but how does the ruby check valve really work? the normal check valve from ADA seemed to fail to hold back the pressure from the back flow for my glass bubble counter. So now, I am using 3 check valves inline to prevent my regulator from failing.

Wahseh! This is alot of difference! Freight plus profit?

[ranmasatome]

its not $1200 here in Japan...

[Fei Miao]

So Justin, you plan to lug a set back?
Anyway back to the tropic , I find the cube proportion aesthetically appealing, important to note is to keep it simple in scaping.

I went to Hong Kong and notice lot of shop there sell ADA product and the price for ADA liquid fert almost cheaper 60%than Singapore. I checked in a shop which selling almost all ADA product, the MH 150W cost about SGD $600.

And the Teco TR15 also cheaper few hundred than Singapore, I guess the competition too high alone the gold fish street. Maybe some bro who going Hong Kong next time can buy himself some ADA product back.

Hi,

Dun mind to ask, what is OT? So far the 2 ruby check valves works fine with my 2 tanks. You can see and hear the ruby ball moving beating like a heart. I mean not loud lah... very low tick tick sound. Its a pleasure looking at it Also the bettle counter, seeing the bubbles goes round the spiral glass apparatus.

I also uses the green color plastic ADA check valves. This too is ok. No problem leh.

Hi,
Do you know the address and shop name. I was there at Gold fish street (I think that the street name) but see no ADA stuff leh..

[benny]

OT is Off Topic.

This seems to be more of an ADA appreciation thread than an aquascape discussion. Perhaps it should be in the equipment section instead!!

In any case, I believe that a beautiful setup compliments a beautiful aquascape. Care and concern should be taken when selecting equipment for maximum visual impact. Jellydot72 has done quite well in this case.

Cheers,

OT is operating theatre! Just joking. Nice tank though! Ada here in malaysia is very expensive

Sorry for late reply, just back from Sarawak.

You should be able to see most of the shop **with planted tank selling ADA product. I didnt look at the shop name, I just remember the shop quite a bit dark and in their they have marine tank and planted tank display with "Amano Design" word i guess.
