**Simon** · 20th Oct 2002, 15:37

wahboy, yes thats the red var.

chcs, they r average in size, not to their max yet

**oqs** · 20th Oct 2002, 18:27

where do u get the nuphar red var.?

saw the tank at Teo's yesterday. amazing. very very nice. the tenellus (izzit?) is sprouting immersed leaves already. notice that there are feeder shrimps in there?? anyway, forgot to ask the pple at teo's what fish they gonna put inside. so any idea?

**Simon** · 20th Oct 2002, 18:40

the nuphar is from teo...

they have ordered yamato and told teo to wait awhile longer b4 adding the fishes.. maybe a few hundred ruby tetra

simon i need more info

if i'm not wrong the tank is 2 weeks old?
the plants seems to be adapting to the tank very well. does that mean that when plants are newly planted, they need a period of bout 2 weeks to get 'matured?'
i've rescaped my tank again [

] and now the plants are sort of in bad shape.... will it recover in 2 weeks?
also.... when did teo add the shrimps? 1 week after the setup?
what about water change? did he change the water ever since it was setup?
thanks

Simon,

There are only 4 lamps during the setup. You guys added another MH?

**Simon** · 21st Oct 2002, 18:03

oops... my fault shld be 4x150watts

cardinal: wat info u need? gravel and base fert dunno since we estimated the thickness while laying it. they did 3 water change becoz of the 'cloudiness'
