Mamak...teh tarik ...aiya wait lar..
Firstly..Many thanks to Dom....you were right about the acidic rain.I have never experience such extreme water condition in my small fish pond. I ve been keeping it for 2 years without any problem but just recently the fishes began to develop mucus or peeling on their skins.
I was so stoopid for not taking pH reading as I tot it was some sort of
ulcer or viral infection .Guess what.... pH reading(range 1-9) was below 5 the least, (I lost the pH chart..but the color on test tube was deep red) Luckily I shifted large number of fishes to my dad's koi pond 2 weeks ago.
Lost 2, left 4....fortunately my Feather Fins didnt show any sign of stress at all. OK ..Sorry for telling something off topic!!

Ok anyway...back to planted world, I have updated my website with a few
of xtras photos.

By the way, Dom and Stan...u guys definitely need a wooden hood for support because my reflector with only 4 PLs and eballasts also bit wobbly eventhough it's very sturdy.Luckily the reflectors I ve recently bought are bit thicker. U will also need fans..fans..fans..either AC/DC , however if it runs 24/7 must be AC!!

So now...go find a 3" fans ...and pl clips.. guess maybe have to go 88..
I know one place sell plastic type..but I dun think it's good!ok
Also buy few 2x4 wooden plank plus a few 1"x1" square 10ft wood stick if u planned to DIY your hood..dont wolly I got the power tools and alot of lovely wood finishing...ok if u can givme the dimensions and maybe I can help figure out how to construct one nice solid hood .... hehe!!
It's goin to be a great funnnn!! :P
Alright then ...Cheerss
