wow...that's alot of hang on back filters you're using!
Ha ha,but in the long run it would not be economical i upgraded from my one feet tank to a 2 feet so i just used the hang on filterThis was the 1 feet tank but im using the tank to house a fish
Very nice layout of plants, but it will be hassle to maintain a dutch garden layout. Your choice of stem plants will grow very fast and might choke out your foreground plants in time.
I see also someone is using benny's method in action for the filters. Very unconventional, but IMHO, quite effective for frequent travellers.
very nice... especially the moss "hill" ... any CO2 involved..? DIY or canister?
agree, the first thing i noticed were the amount of small OHF he has over at the back.Originally Posted by illumnae

You sure have lots of extension plugs
Only for the starting say 2 months i used CO2 after that i stopped when the cansiter was giving me problem.
Hi bro, i consider to start a small tank of 2x1x1, like yours.
May i know which plants in your 1st photos, are suitable for beginner. I have zero knowledge on planted tank.....
And what substrate you are using, where to buy it, and what's the cost?
Is CO2 a must?
Thanks
ok co2 is not really a must but it helps gives a little spark when you start up i think its better if you dont buy a co2 tank when you are starting out first maybe you can read up on diy co2 cheaper alternative
plants i would reccomend java fern,moss is good temperature should be around 26-27 degrees celsius.
when you are starting a planted tank the best way to avoid algae is to pump in plants like surface plants example frogbits i wouldt advise duckweed it multiply rapidly, if you are leaving in the east i can past you some floating plants frogbits will take a picture later
gravel i will add later have to go somewhere will give to give you some more advice when i get back
suggest you change all hang on to an eheim canister.
ha ha bro when the time is right i will change maybe june or july
i cant really remember the cost but i would advice you just use gex soil for the base .i use the gravel as a base with base fertilisers but the gex soil as the top which i feel isnt really good when i restart my tank i might use gex soil for the base.And what substrate you are using, where to buy it, and what's the cost?
Thanks
Bro 900801, yes for the start i may like to try DIY CO2 first...
For the tank like yours, what substrate you're using, i like the black type you use? Where to buy it, what's the cost, and quantity needed? Is it fertiliser & gravel together...
Beside java moss and java fern, is riccia & Glossostigma elatinoides easy to keep?
Thank you.
You meant just use gex soil, no need another layer of fertiliser or gravel?
Where can i find it, how many kg is needed for 2x1x1?
Thanks
im not too sure about the soil but i think you can use it alone why not read this thread up?http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...highlight=soil

i am not sure as i have not tried it yet.
can get it from parsir ris farm OTF,Clementi 328
most places should have it
Ok, thanks....
those two really depend on your tank some time it grows like a pest sometimes it doesnt grow it really depends on the tank
Just want to add that these 2 plants require relatively bright light. So if your tank is running on a single 9W (for example) it will be better to keep to moss and fern.
update of my tank

fishes left in the tank are 1 pair of Apisto Caca Triple Red Pair currently breeding,2 otocinclus and 1 Microrasbora sp. galaxy.
