AQ tank setup by Shadow at Sun Pets

[Ingen]

I was telling my wife you should have used a laser pointer like Amano, that will reduce the need for you to walk to the front and see and adjust haha.

[Ingen]

3 bags of 9 liters ADA amazonia
1 bag of power sand special
5 powder
Stones and wood anyhow take from behind . This bring to point that you cannot do the way that I do in the worskshop. It is best that you sketch either in paper or in mind before go to fish shop.

Plants:
15 pots Bolbitis heudelotii
15 pots Crypt wendtii green
5 pots Crypt wendtii brown
15 pots Hydrophilia pinnatifida
10 pots Anubias nana petite
5 pots narrow leaf java fern
5 pots lilaeopsis brasiliensis

I always been curious, why use powder, other than its finer and more expensive?

It holds the roots of the plants down better especially for plants with short roots like HC. Also gives the scape a sense of scale to a certain point.

My rough estimation for the total cost of a new 4ft tank with cabinet should be from $2,000 to $6,000 depends on the quality of your parts and how many stones and plants you doing to invest in.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Next time I think should give label so can easily address them

Ya, next time should pass out sticker labels for aquatic-quotient members.

Would be short of volunteers, members compulsory to self volunteer

Its my first time attending a aquatic-quotient event, seems more educational than other aquatic clubs.

I have been to other aquatic club events as well, but nothing compared to aquatic-quotient. Really enjoyed it though had to leave early for family event.

4x1.5x1.5ft crystal glass with cabinet local build is around S$1000
4x2x2ft crystal glass with cabinet local build is around S$1500

I did not expect so much attendees, make people shy and hard to get volunteer. If it is only 10 people attend I'm pretty sure they are more than welcome to volunteer and try. My initial plan was to split the group into 2 and each group come up with hardscape, then select one of them. It should be fun but that is not possible with 30 plus peoples

Thanks to Shadow and team for so willing to share. Nothing beats seeing the actual setup in person. I learnt a lot from it!

The turn out was much better than the last workshop conducted by Green Chapter

This are the only pictures I managed to take during the event. Hope I didn't post it in the wrong place and hog up the bandwidth.

Cheers to Shadow for taking his time to teach us noobs. Very well informed for most of us.

The mist valves on the green tea bottle was a good improvisation.

the sump filteration , the first wet/dry the piping supposed to reach below the water level and covered up

any particular reason why the piping so high up ?

by the way the sicce pump looks heavy duty ,was the flow strong ?
