First 1ft try

[Chr1stoph3r_L1m]

Hi guys,

After looking at all the post, my hand itcy itcy go buy some of the stuff and convert my tank to a low tech planted, since i know i don't have the time to maintain it.



the moss is very little for $5 e.a

Wops i think the pic is too big...

Hi bro,

nice scape you have in your tank, like the kinda cave-like look from the DWs in the background. Give it a few weeks/months time & I'm sure the growth of the moss on the DWs will look more natural & nicer...

Just a suggestion, how about the idea of letting the 2 pieces of moss wall lie down horizontally rather than vertically as the gap in between the 2 pieces of mesh kind of looks awkard... Or you may wish to close up the gap & then plant some taller plants at the background?

What faunas are you intending to keep in this tank? Care to share the dimension of your tank? [By the way, can't PM/email you with regards to the Ramshorn snails that you are interested in...]

Regards.

PS: Do agree with you that that amount of moss for that price is really a bit too little/ex... Bought from LFSs? Next time get from the bro/sis in AQ, they are more generous...

Yo beetlejuice403,

was thinking of adding another moss wall to cover up the gap. Thanks for the comment.

I house back the fish in pic1, they are living in pineapple tart container now with air pump haha, poor thing no terrace house liao, got only HDB.
wanted to add cherries together with them but not sure they will attack the shrimp anot.

How come i can't PM ar ?? Can sms me at 8200 2388. but i think i will need only 5 of them since my tank only 1ft.

No U you all are not spoiling the market, is helping the market to improve on the pricing so as to attract more customer.

yeap top left got hair grass on the DW, as the DW there got a inward curve, the moss inside tend to float out of the hole. so i squeeze in the HG lor.

I read before HG can root to DW rite.

[EvolutionZ]

wow.. for the same price.. u you can get like 30x of the amount.

[beetlejuice403]

Ha! Ha! True, & bro Evo is known to be quite generous (Hearsay) also... but too bad you live in the West side, too far from me, if not, I'll also patronise from you...

No problem Christopher, will SMS you about the snails then... Cheers!!

[Chr1stoph3r_L1m]

before:


Then:


Now:

[Chr1stoph3r_L1m]

what will you do with uneaten food under the mesh ??

[fireblade]

let it rot there bah..
or during water change, lift the mesh and siphon...
sometimes can be quite smelly and dirty... which is why I don't put mesh lying around but make them all stand..

[YiDaLi]

Very good indeed for 1st try out bro! Would love to see your shrimps tank set up. Keep us posted soonest possible

[beetlejuice403]

what will you do with uneaten food under the mesh ??

Hey bro, the scape looks more mature now... For the uneaten food, you may siphon it out with those tubings to ensure it does not 'spoil' your water parameters (if not, you may get these planaria worms problems with overfeeding also..). Or you may wish to add in some livestocks that helps to clear up those uneaten food (Most snails & shrimps should be able to solve this problem...) Hope it helps.

Regards.
