Hohoho... Merry Xmas to you guys. ...

I've just installed the Koralia 1 in my 4x2x2...very gentle flow despite the 1500L/hr rating. I'm definitely adding 1-2 more. I think if I put in the nano, the additional flow would get "lost" in the tank, so I'm glad I got the 1...in fact I'm thinking that perhaps I should have gotten 2 Koralia 2s instead.

So the larger Koralias are good for a larger planted tank blue33

Damn... your plants are in really good condition man !!! I'm damn envious. Looks like your EI dosing is damn power... haha.

[blue33]

LOL! Thanks! vwsj84 look at the spiky moss you bought, you can tell the quality of the plant. Yeah i'm dosing dry ferts that mix with RO water. Here's the pic of my dry ferts that i mix with 1.2litre RO water. The mix ferts can last me about 3-4mths for 2 tank.

I don't have the effect in my tank, instead of trying to scape, im finding myself doing a more " maintainance trim" bi-weekly. Will update soonest on my thread... been busy of the late.

Very nice tank... No thoughts of using glass piping in your tank? I know they can be bought for really cheap at the LBS at Havelock road...

Thanks. Have tried lily pipe before, still prefer those plastic one, more easy to manipulate. LOL.

After 10 days Hong Kong tour the tank has turned into a forest, will update pic soon. This is really a fruitful trip, met Dave Chow(2007 IAPLC grand champion), wife Suzanna and Cliff Hui, they are really nice people and have shared their knowledge to me. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and experienced. Will post a my Hong Kong trip pic if i've the time.

[blue33]

Looking forward to an updated FTS. I've kept quiet for a while but i've still been following this thread last month or so.

[blue33]

Hi Verminator. Is being quiet awhile no news from you. How's things going on? Thanks for following/visiting my thread. Will post my forest tank after my trip to Hong Kong, yesterday i had it trim till short.

[Verminator]

I shall be eyeing this thread eagerly then for you to post.

Not much news from me to be honest. I havnt really touched my tanks for a few months now. Although currently setting up my 2ft so a thread/journal may pop up in the coming weeks for that. Other than that i've taken a step back and just let my tanks be. Growth is soooo slow in my 3ft that i don't actually do anything other than WC weekly.

Hi bro,

welcome back!

Seems like a fruitful trip to HK. Looking forward to changes to your tank.

Anyway, just gave you a pm. Would appreciate it if you can reply.

Thanks!
