Hi,

Wow, it almost 3 months since the last update on this tank. Time really does fly when you're having fun erk..work..bz..bz..

The picture taken after a week long holiday with reduced light (one week without ferts too).

Not much progress on this tank, except maybe, the marsilea minuta carpet slowly forming, remove some e. cinereum (took a lot of space), plant some ludwigia glandulosa at the back...huh..in the end, the aquascaping part of tank is somehow not fully focus..

Regards

Hi,

Still not much progress on this tank, lol..just want to show the ludwigia glandulosa in this tank, a beautiful red plant, not difficult to grow, unlike typical "red" plants, L. glandulosa does not need to have low nitrate levels to maintain its red coloration. A high light plant with typical ferts, grows straight up..erk..my kind of plant...hehe..

Hi,

Bought this Super K fert at the recent Aquafair from ADA booth (ACT booth to be exact). It is suppose to give the same effect as the ADA Brighty K, with anti-chlorine and concentrated potassium supplement but at a cheaper price... Have been using it for a week now. Too early to say if it is any good or not, and also I don't know how to gauge it anyway, but everything seems ok... One thing though, I am not particularly like the bottle used, 1 squirt equals to 2 ml, 2ml for 40 liter...not as smooth as ADA bottle..so I use back the empty ADA bottle..hehehehe



Regards

hi there,

just discovered your tank's story...great looking tank...

out of curiosity, how did you get up to 8 PLL bulbs onto your tank?
i have the same tank size and i could only get 6 bulbs in...
mind sharing your secret/picture?

thanks...

Hi red, thanks..welcome..

Nothing secret really, it is just a normal lighting casing (found at any decent LFS) that can hold 4 PLL, using two of these...


Regards

nasfish, thanks for the quick reply...

hmmmm...i'm using an almost similar casing except it can only hold two bulbs...
must search again...mind telling which shop you got them from?

thanks....

Looks like a very nice plant. Where did you get it from?
BTW you have a jungle up there! lol.

Red, you can get those lights from 88Marine and even East Aqua has it sometimes. Nasfish, there is a question I wish to ask you. Assuming you are using a pair of these PL-L casings (8 x 36W PL-L) on a standard 4ft tank, where do you get the space to put in the fans? Mind sharing some pics of how you did it? I'm already having problems with one 4ft (PL-L) casing and another 4ft (FL) casing.

hi red, I got mine from nearby LFS, Natural Plant (now moved to Tmn Seri Taming, Cheras) at special price, lol. But I saw the same casing on display at 88Marine SunwayMas and Pandan Indah...

hi stan, I bought the plant at East Aqua, Ikano, hehe where else..yeah it is a jungle now lol (too lazy, too bz, too don't know what to do....lol)...

hi kevin, I am using the fan clip, bought from 88Marine, clipped it just under the casing as shown in the picture below :-


Regards

it is a very cheap plant. RM1.5 only. Few lfs selling it. i thrown mine away. 2 handful and 1ft tall....
