    Hi guys,
    Finally bought a CO2 system and those sands you guys had swore by it. I'm idiots when it comes to names and well Vinz, you know which brand. Anyway, just an info for all is that Nature does sell it separately in 1kg and 5kg packets. Price call and ask(refer to LFS list).

    Also just realised that there's no way to fit all the Java moss I had bought leaving behind about 70-80%. Thought it would be a waste to junk them, anyone interested can pick them up from me at Yio Chu Kang MRT area. Call me at 98471589 fast.

    Again, I'm really slow about names, forgive me please and for those whom was at Teo's and Gan's, thanks for all the help ,advise, patience and not kicking me down the drained pool.

    Overall damaged today
    $300 *sob sob*

    Cheers and Regards,
    Billy Cheong

    Billy,
    Glad you took the advise and got yourself a CO2 system. I'm sure you'll not regret it.

    Sorry I couldn't help you as I'm still in the learning phase myself. Anyway, do enjoy yourself setting up your tank..... hope everything will be up b4 you go back to work.
    Cheers!!

    Hi guys again,
    Yeah, I did enjoy the experience definitely, especially the scent in Teo's area... hahaha...

    Yup, the tank is up and running in just slight more than an hour. Plants down, fish in,and CO2 up...

    Just love it when my tank's PH finally lowered from 8 to 7.2 plainly due to the CO2.

    Well, I must be really into it this time. Feels like going to LFS whenever I'm free... Just came back from C328 (they suppose to close at 9pm, but until 11:30 still open tonight, maybe due to the competition?) Want to get two SAE but they ran out of it. Settle with 6 cardinals and 2 SAE look alike(the lady call it Xiao Ling Jing).

    Got very attracted to the 4ft curve view tank and after some calculations, will need to invest about $1000 before fish and plants(talking about tip of the iceberg)... Got hold back a little but still heart itchy itchy.

    Damn... I think I need psychotherapy soon... getting too deep into it... still remembered it was suppose to be just an 16" little tank for my wife and now, it seems no way back... hahaha
    Cheers and Regards,
    Billy Cheong

    um is that SAE a chinese algae eater ? if it has red fins i think its a flying fox . either one isn't that good for planted tank . from what i have gathered(search internet etceetc) they won't be much help when they grow. i think its the CAE (forgot which one)that is worse . it will start to feed on other fishes slime coating instead of algae when its get bigger , this will distress the fish which it is feeding on
    here fishy fish fishy . here shirmpy shirmpy here is my noobie tank(3wk)

    Billy,

    For SAE, you can go to Biotope. They have some confirm genuine SAE there.

    I bought my fake SAE from C328. Reason being that the tank was poorly litted, the tanned water and plain carelessness.....

    Now I have a big problem catching them out as they are super quick swimmers.
    Cheers!!

    Hi Sherwin,
    OK, will check them out soon. This rain is stopping me from going out now... you know why... lol
    I got a feeling those cardinal can't get used to the CO2 yet. One just died this afternoon and I had tested the PH, KH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are all in acceptable level.
    Might check out Petmart later part of the day for a Panda Cory replacement and maybe check out their 4' tank.

    BTW, to all the rest interested with those java moss, they are all snatched up.
    Cheers and Regards,
    Billy Cheong

    I bought an SAE from the LFS at the end of the row as 328, the rather big LFS one. maybe you could try there.

    Well, couldn't find a Digital Camera and so have not really other way to present my humble tank to Sifus I had here... However, I grabbed my old HI-8 video camera and found that it can still work... haha... quality sucks though.

    No, the SAE is not a chinese algae eater... and it definitely does not have red fins.

    In trying to ensure you get an SAE, look out for 2 main things.

    1- Black stripe in the tail
    2- No black stripe in the top fin.

    If it has black strip in tail & black strip in top fin you have a flying fox otherwise if it has no black stripe in the tail and no black strip in the fin you have a flase SAE... also once you get familiar with the fish, the body coloration will also help differentiate between the flying fox and SAE quickly, though the false SAE is a bit trickier.

    I had a small tank full of green thread algae stuck to my tennullus cuz I left the tank in the sun for about 2 weeks. I threw in the SAE I bought plus a pencil fish plus a yamato, within 3 days, cleared up all the thread algae!
