After setting up a few "guinea pig" tanks to acquire some knowledge and experience, I have finally sold off everything and embarked on my "longed for" ADA project on a serious note.

Stocks arrived from Mizuworld/Je®vis:

*ADA - Cube Garden 30-C (4mm)
*ADA - New Lily Pipe Inflow V-3 (13mm)
*ADA - Lily Pipe Outflow P-2 (13mm)
*ADA - Pollen Glass (Type-2)
*ADA - Drop Checker Glass Set
*ADA - Garden Mat (60x30cm)
*ADA - Amazonia Type II (3L)
*Arcadia ARC-POD x2 (11watt each)
*Eheim 2213

-Fauna
Eleocharis vivipara
Eleocharis sp (Japanese Hairgrass) x2
Monosolenium tenerum (Pelia)


So excited. Everything came well packaged, coupled with the service which Ben from mizuworld provided. Ben made some exceptions, and i am very satisfied. They will definitely be my regular source of products. Hope that i will be able to get a full ADA experience

[Verminator]

Nice, please do keep us updated. Love to see how this goes

[Jervis]

Hope that i will be able to get a full ADA experience

You sure will... and be glad that you are one of the lucky ones... we adults have to work very hard in order to get that experience

[Samuel2618]

Yo Magic4Life.. how about your L46 tank setup? Any updates?

[tcy81]

can't wait to see more updates from you.

[Cloud-Strife]

wah! so envy that you can afford to buy ADA stuffs.

[Panut]

You sure will... and be glad that you are one of the lucky ones... we adults have to work very hard in order to get that experience

I learnt alot from you, sir Please continue to give your valuable feedback, it is very much appreciated!

[Panut]

Will be updating soon, now i am in the midst of pouring soil in and setting up the equipments!!

Im so afraid of breaking the delicate ADA glassware! wished i bought insurance

[oblivion]

you didnt use the ada substrate system?
power sand special, tourmaline bc, penac p/w, bacter 100 & clear super ==> now that would really be the FULL ADA experience

although from your choice of plants, probably totally unnecessary

how envious i am of the kids nowadays
evolutionz was one, and now here comes another!
at their age we couldnt even dream of having the cash to spend on such "branded" items
they are indeed living in very lucky times

[Panut]

Nope i didn't, probably because the plants and landscape that i had in mind do not need such a "powerful" substrate

Hmm, not really, because i started this planted hobby in january this year with only $50. i saved, and earned money by investing. My previous tanks/equipment were all cheap, and they were for me to gain experience, and to earn money(mosses ). For the next few months to a year or two this will be my final tank, hence the "investment"

Whoo! Its 1am and i've finally finished setting up nicely.
Lily pipes and Pollen are working beautifully. Japanese HG is starting to bubble, and the water is crystal clear
Introduced a rasbora espei and a rasbora harlequin to cycle the tank. My precious galaxy rasboras are still waiting patiently in my bucket with aeration
Will take some pictures tomorrow. Exhausted. Tomorrow my teacher is going to kill me for falling asleep in class

[oblivion]

haha either way its always great to see other guy's tanks
look forward to your pictures

[Verminator]

Oooh, can't wait to see this. Sounds good. You added livestock so soon after setting up?

[Panut]

Oooh, can't wait to see this. Sounds good. You added livestock so soon after setting up?

Haha yeah. Just this two fish that are extremely hardy. Been with me for many months, and helped me to age all my water for water change
The ADA pollen type II is really good! the bubbles are so fine and tiny, a vast difference as compared to my $8 one. Will post pictures once im back from school

[joeyttk]

cant wait to see the picture!

[fireblade]

wah another deep pocket project..
looking forward to see more pictures of your setup!

Actually, you can experience the FULL ADA substrate experience at a fraction of the price!
You can check with the ADA agent or Mizuworld. Some of the authorised LFS sell loose amounts of the substrate additives. And they are mixed in nice satchels for 1ft and 2ft tanks. So you don't have to spend huge amounts of money to enjoy the ADA experience.

Thanks Valice for the suggestion! i will check with Ben/mizuworld They are very nice and helpful guys and i believe they would be able to help me in a way or another

Now its not too late, although i've began planting my dwarf hairgrass, but i am still cycling my tank(for a night), so i can empty the water and add additional substrate

great job you guys are doing.
when you are abit older and can finally afford to spend on all these stuffs, then the wait will make them all seem more worthwhile.

[Fei Miao]

I'm looking forward to this "ADA experience" journal.
