High precision temperature control, less water top up schedule, and ignore ambient condition around inside the room.

Thanks, Sean.

ya, thats the advantage of having a chiller. I have to top up an inch of water everyday, guess those empty pepsi bottles from ntuc comes in handy.

The Utricularia Graminifolia-- 1 month ago.

After...

**hc rotala** · 20th Apr 2008, 19:37

Flying Chendoi?

The loose Utricularia Graminifolia grown on the rock close to water surface, some even emerged from water surface.

Also found that they grow some Bladder which enable them to traps for food.

Nice! I didn't know Utricularia Graminifolia can look so nice as a foreground plant... thumbs up

**torque6** · 21st Apr 2008, 00:28

4 weeks and close to 5-9 hundred times its original growth mass. Very nice.

Thanks Jervis & Torque6.

And enjoy this:
Have any one ever saw the Chendoi (Utricularia Graminifolia) eat tube-worm, here is it, with it unique Bladder succeeded in trapping the prey. May be it's too hungry that has force him to take on such a unreasonably huge prey, i don't think it can finish it, don't it? if then it'd probably be full for a week. Ha, Ha...

Faint! What a gruesome shot

Nice use of the overhanging Hydrocotyle.

Makes a refreshing aquascape!

Very nice shot !

The more I look at your tank... the more I love it... the messiness really brings out the natural aspect of it. It's very convincing

Jervis, you inspiring me that this creature (UG) is a predator in your thread I read (thanks for your info there). So then I feed them with that to prove it. But came to the end they're greatest enemy was this….the Rummy nose Tetra. Is that the theory of physical Food Chain?

Look at below here where lot of UG leaves tips were rounded by them. Luckily there got only two are remains.

I used to trim them (The background plants) to keep them from overlapping toward the front point, eventually these were the forming shape.

What if 14 weeks run without any water changes, and the last 7 weeks with zero liquidize fertilizer add-in and overall merely 3% maintenance task been carry out along that period? Huh! skipped filter cleaning too.
