Nice setup bro. One thing though, I saw you try to hide your e501 together with your multiple plugs. Will suggest you use 3m tape to hang it to the wall behind the tank instead, it's much safer to keep some distance between electricity and water.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will see how it can be done after mounting a blowing fan behind the wall of the tank. The 3m tabe must be extremely strong to hold the eden too.

Sorry I confuse you. I meant just mount the multiple plugs not the eden501.

hahah...now that is not difficult to do. Will go DIY shop to ask around for stronger tape. Priority is to get a fan first, plants will do better with it.

Plants do good with lower water temperature. A quadfan will potentially reduce around 1-2degreeC, but if you want to attain 25-26degreeC (where most plants will love), a chiller will be preferred.

By the way, your tank looks really cool, love the super round shape of the tank.

Haha...eric in case you do not know, blue bubbles is considered as a "old bird" in this hobby. There is no need to teach him about fans....however thanks for sharing...

Uncle blue bubbles, fabulous setup... So what do you plan to keep this time? Cory or Fire reds again?

Ooi!!! What unker? I still very young.
Not sure what to keep yet, but the tank setup fit cardinal tetra. May also consider some giant Malayan shrimps/Amano shrimps for start. I “heard” you bought a bag of 100 pcs giant Malayan *hinting*..

Thanks, I already got the fan in. Water is cooler now. Don’t listen to the white cat, I am still learning too.

Oppppsss... That is because every time, I tell people that I am on a quadfan. And the reply I get is always, why spend on the quadfan? Get a decent chiller and it will decently drop you the temperature for good. And your plants will love you so... muackz.... hahaha...

Nice looking tank!!! Setup as well.

should do FTS without showing the surrounding area, will make the already nice become superb!!!

Quite challenging with its round shape for FTS. The round corner will be out of view because the acrylic wall is pretty thick but I think it can be achieved. However, will wait for everything to mature before showing off months later.

You can visit but entry fee is a packet of 100 malayan shrimps (very giant version type)

Oh dear, you asked the super powerful veteran aquarist and will certainly get that kind of reply. It must be quite rare to land a question on this cheapo low budget hobbyist who do not even own a cheap CO2 set. The white cat knows me better and I nearly skin the cat alive if he ever asked me to buy a CO2 set a 3rd time…hahaha

Time is not the issue, is you capture in picture the beauty of it. Sometimes picture cannot describe that is headache.

See that you got some decent green controlled algae on the driftwood. Nice, really nice.

I like my tank untouched, which is why I dare not dose EXCEL in case they kill the beautiful algae.

Almost a year now, here is the latest update.

Nicely matured.

Hello bro, saw your tank in person. Very nice setup, much to learn from you.
Really an eye opener to see all your low tech setups and can grow bolbitis and nana petite till become such a huge bush! :P
