Bought this tank on 17/09/2012, set it up on 18/09/2012~ Currently cycling with 2 snails... ^^;; Temporary set it up at dinning table, waiting it to finish cycle and move it to join the other tanks...
From C328
- Tank (40cm X 25cm X 26cm)
- Aquazonic T5 light 40cm
- HC, Java moss
- Gex Water plant Soil (sand powder type) 2kg X 2
- Gex Pure Soil Black 800g X 1 (to place on the top layer
- Mosura BT-9

From Y618
- 5 pots of plants
- Rocks
- Drop checker X 2 (shrimp and fish tank)
- Thermometer X 1
From PetMart (Serangoon North)
- Mosura Old sea mud (both C328 and Y618 ran out.. >_<;;)
Recycles
- Hang on filter from my deserted small fish tank (Ocean Free) (Covered with stocking to prevent shrimps being sucked in)
- Internal filter from my very first fish tank set that I bought from Serangoon North (Covered with stocking to prevent shrimps being sucked in)
DIY
- 2 bottles of CO2, 1 is small bottle, 1 is 1.5 litre bottle
Picked up a CO2 drop checker and a new thermometer to go along.. Decided to get a thermometer that has a long wire so I can keep track of the temperature below and not the surface which is likely to be affected by the heat from the light.
CO2 drop checker is used to monitor the amount of CO2 in your tank and warns you if it's too much before your livestock gets suffocated by it.. :P Currently it's bright yellow (too much CO2) in my tank but who cares? Since I have no livestock, the plants will enjoy them!
Set up most of the thing myself but all the heavy duties of washing the tank and splitting the plants from the pot is all helped by my little helper here, thanks Dear! :D Dear helping me tto pluck in HC as my hands are at their limit again.. :( Stupid nerve, faster recover! :(
The cloudy tank after all done...
Current tank after 2 days of settling..
ugly CO2 air tubes that are temporary until I steals the CO2 diffuser from the old shrimp tank...
Most likely waiting for Blue Aura shrimps or Blue tiger Golden eye shrimp~! Or something blue shrimp... ^^;; also, will be hosting whatever shrimps which I might bring back from Japan in my October trip!
Also, I love scaping new tanks! I wish I can just scape tanks all day long... hahahaha.. :D
