Welcome to aq....hope you enjoy your stay.... 3ft is quite challenging. ..hehe..

yeah. I think so too. slowly gathering all the equipments...

[MakeACakep]

Welcome to the club!
Have u decided what kind of plants u want to keep yet?
If u know what kind of plants u want u will have an easier time finding the correct equipment for it, certain plants need certain equipment

Thanks! have done some research into plants.

Planning to get some Staurogyne Repens and monte carlo for my carpet/foreground. some Hemianthus micranthemoides for midground, some mixed rotala species for my background? Dont know whether it will work out nicely. Really need some advices.

Okay my first question is what lighting are u getting? How big is ur tank? Are u going to have co2? Because for these plants u listed I would say u should have them
My monte carlo did not do well in my 28 deg fan cooled tank as compared to my 25 deg shrimp tank so I'm guessing it requires cooler water.

I am planning for a 3ft x 1.5 x 1.5 tank. Got myself a maxspect razor a few weeks ago. Have one 3L co2 tank. but dont intend to have a chiller though. Does it really matter between the temperature?

[MakeACakep]

U can always try without a chiller mine did grow but just not that great without one. Ur lighting seems like a good start n u have co2 so I think ur pretty set. Just get good substrate n cycle the tank u should be all set soon!

Thanks for your advice! will set it up once everything arrived and is in order. Will also try to post some pic when the tank is ready.

Thanks! Would like to have a cabinet, so that I can be able to hide those bulky stuffs away from view.

Ask for detachable cabinet hinges so that you can easily remove it when doing maintenance.

[MakeACakep]

you mean I can actually detach the hinge and remove the whole door?!

[AQMS]

yes. It is an easy setup and cheap,something like this,

It have a quick release trigger that allow you detach the doors.

[MakeACakep]

I see. Thanks. Will request for this detachable hinges for my cabinet when I order. If the price wont shoot up..

[AQMS]

No it wont, the hinges cost around $3 or less depend on the quality.
