yeah, the bangala disappeared digging the hole.
how long do the eggs take to hatch?

Albert. They are likely to be snail eggs I think.
Btw: wth, 3x4x4m pond? That's deep

The eggs may be snail eggs. Your tank doesn't need so much potassium though, that's more for root development. I'd add flourish and flourish excel (maybe a bit of iron for the mosses) once a week, give it some time.

hi guys, one question. whats the diffence between PL lights and those normal white light tubes on the plants?
assuming all factors are similiar.

hahah that signature is about 1 or 2 yrs old. me n bro had a 3ft curve for 2 autumn angels long time ago. plants and all.
shifted house and my dad wanted a pond so the tank went.
like wise, will give u my support too. all the best!

2 new additions. the PL lighting which gives a beautiful blue hue at night.
and the dual cooling fan system which brings the temperture down by 3 degrees even on a hot afternoon with sunlight.
New roots growing for the ground plants.
the moss are growing new parts too. too small for a shot.
got 5 of these sakuras from a friend. 2 left.
guess the water parameters was too lousy for them.
there's one problem i cant solve. the ph level's 6.4
what can i do to raise it to say 6.8?

Rascal - thanks and will do
quick update.
Plants are growing well. unidentified plant is growing too.
Salvaged piece of stem is recovering and new baby leaves have grown.
mosses are still growing, darker green now.
for the ground plants at the foreground. it seems that 2 of them had something like a root stick out of the ground. changed to green, subsequently the tip of that root "died".
it became like white strands of hair. i am still observing if this is a form of reproducing for the plant. like banana trees, root grows underground and baby tree pops up beside parent tree.
if so, then we have 2 new ones on the way.
i now have, Flourish, Flourish potassium, and Dymax Iron Essential for plant fertilizers.
CO2 is roughly 1 to 2 bps.
shocking pH level of 5.0 plan to remedy this with some crushed coral chips. adding it bit by bit to the filter. don't wanna kill the lives stock.
Temperture has dropped and lingers at either 26 or 27 degrees. the UP twin fan systems works well except for the decibel factor.
added 2 badi badi, 1 died in 10 mins. must be the pH.
the other was pretty happy. made the charcoal tube its home. now though it seems to be stoning pretty often. not a good sign.
2 sakuras are still kicking.
otos down to 4. one died due to hunger strike. thought skinny is the "in thing" in the human world. didnt know fishes had that too. didnt die looking like a model.
added a couple of orange shrimps. all are doing well. no KIAs and no Desertors jumping out of the tank.
all are feeding on algae wafers.
planning a moss wall. thinking of christmas moss.
not sure how can i add it in now though. i may try something that hasn't yet been done though.
a floating version of a moss ball. that would give something for the back drop when the moss have fully grown.
would document the back drop addition closely.
need to wait for pay day though.
alright, thats all. pictures in 2 days hopefully.
to readers, have a great day and enjoy yourselves!

did you dichloride your water?? how come your sakuras are dyingmay be your tank haven complete the cycling process.. good luck then
yup, de-chlorinated already. back then after shifting the tank nearer to the window. the temperture rose to 30 degrees.
thats when they started to die. the remaining 2, and the few new orange shrimps are surviving well.
just that the pH 5 is of concern cause its too strong for the fishes i believe. even for the shrimps.
too low already

nice tank!
My nick is lizhien. But i'm not a girl. It's Li Zhi En. =) You can call me Cole too.

Beautiful and Cool set up... Where do you bought the tank from ?
When a habit begins to cost money, it's called a hobby.

Awesome tank p.albert! Really rare that I see a tank like that, for a second I thought you rotated the tank and sealed the bottom, haha. Keep it up! I'll keep checking back here for pictures (:
