Wow...Richard's the man! Anyhow, I really think the health of the plants particularly the mosses and the narrow leaf java fern is really good. Wonder what's your secret

[StanChung]

Cool clean water and adequate fertilisation. Shade plants are not fussy IME.

Anyhow, this is the tank that I caught my eyes. I regret not getting it at the show as my hands are tied..


Dymax IQ3 Nano Tank!

Actually it was dying on last day. Just imagine you have 4x36 watts ON for 24 hours for a week. No solenoid on the regulator, does can't pump too much without killing the fish and disqualify. You can't add fertilizer and underflow filter (750 l/h filter for 88x45x61cm tank).

I think you're right Robert. I just thought a few of them look so similar.

You are right Robert. Tank 4 and 5 might be either from Malaysia or Indonesia. Didnt ask them.
