yung eheim 1.3k isa? wag kayo gnayan.. parang gusto ko din magpico.. pero shrimp tank naman.. hehehe! freshwater..

[aarongo222]

Yes! yung sa distributor ng seachem sa carti. Buying all my additives sa kanila. cheaper than sa lahat even yung mga test kits matagal pa expiration. madalas 2 years from the day na bibilhin mo.

[pikachu214]

Pwede ba yang eheim na yan sa may rims na tank

Lol d mo na nahintay si mang ramon

[aarongo222]

[obet_carlos]

baka kasi machine polished kay mang ramon.. or mas makapal glass. iba pag machine polished eh..

[pikachu214]

Sa rockscape pwede alambre na gagawan mo ng design tapos balutan mo ng dyaryo then lagyan mo n ng cemento tapos i cure mo para mawala lahat ng bad elements kung meron man sa cement haha.

[obet_carlos]

wag alambre.. malamang tatagos yung saltwater sa rocks at kakalawangin yan.. just a thought..

[aarongo222]

@obet
baka nga kaya mas mahal pero yung sa glass siya nag recommend na 6mm daw pag gagawa ako ng ganong dimensions. kaya ganon rin sinabi ko sa carti hahaha

@pikachu
Ayaw ko gumamit alambre. kahit balutan mo pa ng pure cement papasukan parin yan. gusto ko lang patong patong na rocks na may mga levels

[khervmonzon]

[aarongo222]

Done with the cycling!

Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and phosphate = 0ppm ( using API test Kit )

Baka may mabait na gustong magdonate ng small SPS frags thats about 0.5 inch to 1.5 inch. My tank is willing to get it.

Just pm or text me your location. wag lang yung mga batangas kasi hindi ako aabot

Algae is about 5% from 90% when I got home from taiwan.

will be posting FTS of my tank later when I got home.
