Sneak preview... will post another pic after the new rocks get some GDA/GSA on it.

Left 1 Badis in the tank. The other Badis got injured after being attacked by this guy.

nice setup.. ur glosso grow out well n fast.. any other liquid fertilizer u using other than GROWTH??

[PROX]

I use BW Growth + BW Essence K. After 3-4 months I will insert few capsules of BW Boost A into the soil.

Note - correction for the Boraras maRculatus. It is actually Boraras maculatus.

[PROX]

For my future rescape..


Quick left side shot. Glosso not as compact compare to the middle section due to light distribution but still acceptable.

Today added 1 pot of Cryptocoryne parva. Saw it at LFS many months ago. Feel pity for the plant so I decided to adopt it back. Separate out into smaller portion and treated with BW Growth to kill algae.

[hondacivic]

thanks for the useful info.. how much is the total for all the fertilizer u using??

[tirtha1979]

What kind of rocks are they????

[PROX]

hondacivic - 2ml each daily. (Approx 2 squirts)

tirtha1979 - lava rocks. Good as internal filtration media too due to the porous surface.

[hondacivic]

sorry for my misleads.. what i meant was how much per bottle.. haha..

[PROX]

Approx RM60 per bottle. (currency exchange should be ~2.4 the last time i visit Sg)

[hondacivic]

thanks alot..

[PROX]

BW Boost A - I added 3 into the soil..will update the progress after 2-3 weeks.
