[benny]

It's great to be able to have a tank in your office! Keep us posted with more pictures!

Cheers,

[zhiz22]

free electricity, water etc!

but the problem is that my office is shifting in two months time

need you guys help to advise how to shift the tank then
will bring home first them bring to office on another day

then means a lot of draining and topping up of water in the ada soil i got!
gosh. my sponge method of filling up the tank water may not work anymor cos of all the plants and wood inside now

[Justikanz]

also can i pour in some bloody water which is the water i used to soak the frozen blood worms in

The 'bloody water' term is quite funny, I was like , then I read on and realised its the water to saok your frozen bloodworms... Use that for the potted plants. Good nutrients.

[Justikanz]

Oh, yes, silly me...

Seems like you will need to take cab for the few days you need to shift your tank...

[zhiz22]

intend to just drain water
bring tank back
all plants remain in tank
go home then figure a way to top up water

thats all leh

can take bus and train home one hahah. siong!

[Justikanz]

Wow, that is still a heavy thing to carry onto a bus or train... And your plants have to be kept wet throughout the shift. Better to have a layer or couple of layers of wet newspapers to cover the plants...

[zhiz22]

Its not really nice

My first time doing it

Thanks to nicholas and thomas for the plants + snails

Riccia on the bottom left (probably going to die) and moss on the bogwood

some other plants no space to plant into the soil yet.

its growing!

[|squee|]

Good growth! Now all you need is a pair of sisscors.

[zhiz22]

two problems


riccia keep growing longer and is light green

narrow fern is growing but the new leaves are translucent at the ends.

also see some algae growing on tank wall. look like dandelion seeds



help.....

[|squee|]

Black in colour? Are you dosing CO2?

New java fern leaves are always translucent at the ends. As they age the translucent ends fill up.

[Justikanz]

Think might be hydras...

i got dose excel

its green in color.

[|squee|]

Stop doing water changes if you're doing them, just do top-ups. Check your maintainence... there might be rotting stuff around. Manually get the algae present off.

[Justikanz]

Actually, I would also suggest you observe the 'dandelion seeds' for a while and see if it moves... Hydras can also be green in colour.

[zhiz22]

i dun do water change

only top up with water from another tank which has one cory.

nothing else in my tank except plants and 4 neons. all still alive. no plants rotting.

ok will shut off filter to see if dandelion moves or not....
thanks all

[zhiz22]
