    Kelstorm,

    Keep us updated on the status of your filterless planted tank.

    The stick man is Darth Kelvin resisting being drawn to the light "planted" side of the force. []

    The $19 one that I was quoted, looked like the normal 2ft tank that Petmart has, when they sell their tank set for $65.

    Can't remember the brand, maybe not Nisso, may be Five Plan or something like that.

    Simon,
    do i need to buy the base fertilizer as that of dennerle brand? can recommend other brands that is good?
    the following will be how i gonna do it.. correct it if i am wrong.
    procedure:
    1. putting the thin layer of sand (<1cm)
    2. putting 2-3cm of base fertilizer?
    3. pouring the rest of the sand to form the entire depth of 5-cm cm?
    4. add water and plants eg nana?(does all the plants need to be in by now)
    5. driftwood to be inserted in this stage? or when? do u recommend it? it gives a yellowish tinge color.. affects the pH too, right?
    6. let the tank mature for how many days b4 buying fishes?

    oh yes.. leave the lights on for how long? what is the preferred wattage? normal ikea lights is like 11W PL. is it sufficient?
    u recommend terraces? if so, what can we use as terrace? insert at which stage?
    thank u bro!!!!!!
