3 shrimps , 2 small fishes

Thanks Tom, i was testing co2 for awhile but found out i dont need it much, so i switched to flourish excel. All my plants are low- medium light i think. The truth is i have no idea what that tree plant is since i forgot to ask what it is. Im really clueless when it comes to plants or fishes...

Most of my filter parts was from ebay. It includes 4L airtight/liquidtight container, 3cm thick coarse sponge, 2cm fine sponge, some ceramics, 2 tubes and 1 powerhead (200l/h, Hmax is only 0.5), im ordering a 380l/h, Hmax is .9m so i can put it under my table. I found its much easier if you put...

Thx daileene, my filter is doing a great job for my tank. Sorry been to busy lately, heres my tank after 1 month. Nothing changes much. 1 high light plant died and upgraded my light to a LED light. Its been only 3 days but plants seem doing fine. I think this is a low LED light. No new fish yet...

I think a mini hydor heater is what your looking for its only 7 watts kinda big for 2.5g but hey it can be put anywhere in the tank. Try ebay. Where are you from?

I just noticed 1 of my plant(from pic), got it from other tank, growing these triple large leaves as the normal one. I mean is this even normal? good sign? Jas any1 experienced this b4?

Maybe your advice was right. I just did a water test today. Surprised ammonia was at 0.5. Did a 50% pwc. I think i overfed the fishes. I removed the palm plant cuz its dying. I dont think its an aquatic plant. Also maybe i have 2 ottos catfish that could have cause ammonia arised. Its funny how...

Looking fantastic man. What liquid ferts do you use for your tank? Im only using flourite potassium atm.

I think your right, but im just copying other filters out there. How did u put yours, if its homemade? You can read it from my first post.

Thats what i meant, it has to be in middle!

Wow i didnt know this. Thank you. Ill glue this in my mind.

Thanks. But i thought ceramic rings shouldnt be at top or bottom in any filter(can be seen from any high quality filter out there?!) what do you guys think of this? I've only been dosing potassium since others are still to be arrived. I only been doing weekly water changes. Daily water change...

Sorri just got home, heres my updated tank. Bought rhino skull and bulla palm. But the bulla palm is actually dying on me, wondering is it an aquatic plant? The dwarf grass ( high light) seems to be doing ok but havent seen it growing, so no luck there. Everything else is growing.

Updated, but need help. My api test kit just arrived yesterday. My plants and fishes doing ok. I did a test heres what it read, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 10-20 nitrates. The problem is i did not cycle my tank because im using rainwater. So my questions are what should i do now? Should i cycle my...

In that case i would try some liquid ferts first. Potassium maybe? You do have light for plants right.

I think it needs to grow on a driftwood. Thats what mine is. Im still learning too. Gooluck

Heres my tank after some rearrangement. But i have 1 problem with my filter. One of my outlet tube has been built up this kind of white stuff thats been floating in my tank right now, wonder is it? Has any1 had it before? Is there a solution for it? Coul it be from the rainwater that im using...

Looking good. Seems like ur tank is lid free? Is that better for plants.

Thx. I dont have net atm on my comp so cant check it yet. But the plant is doing fine atm getting some fertz soon. Nope, still remember it was fully green when mum brought it home.

Yes im too curious how my plants will do in this new light, this my second day with this light so i cant tell yet. I agree but i do have co2 running since i have a stem plant which is dying from my mum's tank. Im trying to save it dying, its looking healthy and growing new leaves. I just...

Thanks guys. Well my mum always have a tank around 40G. But shes not much of a fish keeper (fish killer:D) and i couldnt even bother with them back then. We've had bad experience with plants and fishes. Til i saw some nano planted tank on youtube, i got hooked on, so here i am.

Nice, my tank is ~17inch. Im planning to buy a fixture like urs. Do you have any medium- high light plant in your tank and are they growing well?

Im new to this site, wish i could find it earlier. Just got interested in FW for a month. I want to share my new 10G tank that i put together in a month. I did a lot of research but still havent finish though :( Light: dymax astro light 15w power compact (50000 hrs dunno if its true) Heater...
