Justin,

Welcome...

You can try JB.. there are a lot of LFS selling aquatic plants...

Aquarium Mutiara
Taman Perling
Tel : 07-2416795

I dunno how far is Skudai to JB...


What size of the tank are you looking at ?

I once have a small 2 ft tank with simple plants without any substrate ( fertilizer under the sand ). I just add liquid fertilizer everytime I do water change.

You can DIY your own lightning system and DIY CO2 system...

But you will need water testers (Ph and Kh) and long tweezers to arrange your plants.

DO NOT get an overhead filter as it will release all the CO2 you injected into the water.


Stan

2 ft tank... you can get those Ocean Free brand lightning with a 1 piece of 36W PL ..just nice 10Gallons , 36W..

FILTER... do NOT use an overhead filter... it will release all the CO2 you injected...

To make a CO2 reactor... just use a powerhead and a reactor... a cylinder tube with bio balls inside it...
