wanna learn about aquascaping

[kurty]

yup..forget about the tab. It is either Co2 tank or excel.
In a long run co2 tank will save you more dollars than excel.
It is the initial start up that is costly after that i all depend on you....
I told you you jinx it..

haha, yeah. unknowingly..

tomorrow i think i going to spend money on seachem huge excel and purigen..
don't know how's the damage gonna be like but i think seachem stuff is not cheap..

40cm x 30 x 30 = 36 liter
50 x 30 x 30 = 45 liter

Not much different, just dose 5ml after large water change and add 1 ml daily

genius, praise you.
was reading your blog yesterday, especially the diy c02 but seems too alienated for me..
hence better stick to dummies-products.


P.S: anyone using up-aqua products?
recently i bought 2 of their LED lights, pretty good and cheap.. compare to those T5 etc..
however i notice they are missing the transparent holder for the light.. said to exclusively for taiwan only..
my led lights are sitting on a tiny support, hopefully no careless mistake from me..

i am using UP-Aqua z series for 2 ft.
If i am not wrong, UA is using that as well..

using a CO2 tank with regulator and it will save you money in the long run..

Which exact model are you using? The light sets should usually come packaged with a pair of plastic supports to install and prop them up on both sides of the tank glass.

If they are missing, then just check with the shop you bought them from, they may be able to exchange it or get the replacement plastic supports for you.

Those sound like the T-Series models... they use inbuilt extendable metal rod supports instead (not transparent plastic supports), so i guess thats just part of their design.

but without the plastic supports, it's not even secure..
crappy..

Soon you'll be poisoned by ADA tanks and lily pipes. Nothing beats the ADA aquasky LED lights for small tanks. You can grow anything.

Yes,that is a good pointer.
What is important IMHO,is the Tank and its cabinet or stand and a good filter.
Because these 2 will be there and running for years, so make sure get a reputable one.

Seems good, was reading about it.

But got one little issue, as I'm using excel which this plant may not survive..

[AQMS]

It will survive with excel,just dont dose it directly onto the leaves.
