Hi people

[hmmm2]

I've been interested in planted tank since my visit to aquarama last year.

I live in Choa Chu Kang and am currently a student.

I currently have a 2ft planted tank which houses 7 neon tetras, 2 pairs of galaxy rasboras, 1 pair of clown killi, 1 pair of endlers livebearer and 1 apistogramma macmasteri.

I'm interested in apistogrammas, all kinds of shoaling fish suitable for planted tanks and killifish.


The shops which I frequent are Qian Hu, C328 (very frequent!!!), polyart (very frequent too!!!), the fish shop in Yishun(quite near S11), a small fish shop in Bishan (near Crazy Ang Mo) and a fish shop in Ang Mo Kio (I think it's called rainbow).

I think I should say something more about my tank:

Substrate: GeX (light green)
Light: Kenis.Model k-778. 55W. 12 hrs on timer.
Filtration: Two 2W hang-on filters from my previous smaller tanks.
Fertilization: Daily 1 drop of seachem iron, 3 drops of seachem potassium and 5 drops of seachem excel.
Weekly one drop of seachem flourish after water change.

So far no big issues about algae except something which looks like green spot.

I used to keep guppies in my tank as well, but all of them have clamped fins after a while, became very thin and died eventually. Wonder if the pH in my tank is too low for them.

Sorry for such a long introduction.

Hi,
Welcome to join us in this forum and my point of view, you are not new hand in this hobby. From the way you describe in your post, may be let us see your tank picture as we can learn from you too.

Sure!

I've tried using my phone to get a picture of my tank but the colour seems much redder than how it should look.

So I'll borrow a camara to get a picture of my tank instead. But that can only be done over the weekend.

Sorry for the wait.
