its a pity you stay so far away.......
otherwise i would definitely drop by your place for a visit.....
that is what we called the sump tank filtering system. It is not recommended for planted tank also.
It is depends on how many liter of the cylinder of CO2 you wanna buy. Or you can get the Nutrafin one...but that is able to support 2ft tank only. cost about RM40-60. Need to refill everymonth. 1 time refill cost RM12-14.
if 2.5L alominium cylinder with solenoid cost about RM700-800.
Lighting is depends on how big is yr tank. How many gallon... I forgotten how many per watt... it is calculate like that.

just like my 4ft tank...around 200 liter. need at least, 160Watt... So i need to get 4x40W light bulb for my tank.

far?? hahahaa...u also stay in kl.. where got far? imagine i m traveling to cyber jaya everyday...go n back.
