judging from the pic, the CRS must be quite tiny

all 5 avg 1.5cm....
while climatising them, notice one carrying some eggs, but sag only sparesly filled, dunno just developing or oreadi laid the rest in the display tank..... anyway, important thing now is hope tt they will settle down nicely.
have yet to see them tis morning... waiting for the lights to turn on at 1200hrs...
Hi Simon.... here's two shots from the front, more pics updated in the gallery... yr comments are most welcome....
i feel you shld have the tank sloped, and some of the driftwood doesn't suit the layout, too many everywhere :P

try using rocks/stones for the scaping, arranged in a triangular layout with provide depth feel to the tank.. (like what amano preach)
Simon, thanks for the tip. Will let them stablised first then decide on the rescape. Meanwhile, will try to get some inspirations from..........
Simon, William,
if i wanna do a similiar project-Mosses tank which is a 4ft tank, what kinda requirement do i need?!?!
currently i have a 4ft tank and a 36watts FL lamp. And a CO2 cylinder which presently used for my another planted 4ft. i dun think the moss tank i be using CO2.
for all this, am i able to achieve mossy project?!?

you need to determine what kinda of moss you want and if you can achieve the required temperature of that species of moss to thrive in the tank.
erect, java moss!
temp able to maintain at around 26+ - degree.
what other adjustment?! do i need to add more lights?!!
i'm afraid alage will outbreak if light too strong when no CO2
thou both mosses can do without CO2, they will obtain better growth if there are. why dun u get a splitter so that can supply to both tanks?
btw... wat type of shrimps u thinking of putting in the 4ft?
i'm not too sure the CO2 splitter cost how much, but heard around 50plus!
but if i invest in co2 for the moss tank, will my lighting be sufficient. too much or less!!afraid algae will outbreak.
well, mostly cherries! as my primary planted, i'm rearing them! may throw in mosquito shrimp, tiger...as well!

It doesn't cost that much.

Not tt ex lar.... 2-way splitter only $30, i got a 3-way last year for only $42. now dunno price got drop or not....

IMHO, 36W for a 4ft is not enuff... even without CO2, think the mosses will have slow growth. i wld suggest to get the splitter and increase yr lightings, then u will be able to tweak the amt of CO2 to achieve optimum results rather than trying to struggle with minimum provisions....
i be getting that splitter, anyway any place recommend to buy?!
as for lighting, i need to increase how much?!the reason i'm going for moss setup, cos is low maintainance!
i have a primary planted, quite tedious to look after! so i just wanna a low tech, maintainance tank to look after!

you can call up NA to check on availability. As for the light, maybe another strip of 2x36watt might be good enough. Also, I think having both java and erected moss might be rather messy and difficult to maintain once they grow
Hey, i noticed that one of the bees i got fr C328 (for water testing) improved its colour after the CRS was added on Sat. took tis pic earlier, looks abit like those lesser grade Diamond hor.... any members experienced tis be4???
