The main electric consumption for this tank is:
144 watts (lamp) 10~12 hrs
20 watts (Ehiem 2228 filter) 24hrs
20 watts (Fan) 10 hrs
For that, I guess/felt it added S$10 to bill monthly.

The water consumption:
Water was changed once every 2~4 weeks
For that, I guess/felt it added S$1 to bill monthly.

Above are relatively affordable. However, the main expenses come investing in equipment, plants, fishes, fertilser, etc. Over 5 years, I spent about S$4~5K on them.

Does a tank like that require CO2?

[FC]

The tank was with CO2 injection. One can do without but the growth may be painfully slow for large tank like this. Besides, the plants will be less robust.

Bro, Awesome setup. For a moment i thought you were going to tear down your whole setup. Nice to hear that someone else is taking good care of it.

[fastlane]

Sad to be giving up something that you have spent so much effort previously. When the kids grow up. Maybe you can look at getting a 6ft to keep you occupied during retirement?

[Slash]

Nice setup bro.

Elatine Triandra is a true foreground plant which creep on the ground faithfully. They are easy to manipulate to form very nice lawn. These Elatine Triandra were grew with only 144 watts in this 4x2x2 ft tank (that is, low~medium light).



The problem is they grew too fast, that's when they squeeze densely and grow upwards.

Hi FC, where can buy Elatine Triandra?
C328 doesn't seem to carry them.
