sharing my shrimp tank ^_^ "blog"

armageddon · 01-12-2009, 01:43 AM

hi all..

hope u guys still remember few months back my posting of my shrimp tank.

ok. frankly, its a failure. BUT!

did not give up, or rather used the lazy method... hahaha

i didn't know why. my tank all planted MELTED! even java moss >_<

and there goes my moss bamboo concept.

but instead of giving up. i let the tank "rot" there. i just top up water and let the water cycle. i guess its pretty stupid. a 1 ft tank needs cycling? hahaha

i dunno. just try lor.... left the tank empty for 2 months. just filter with ADA and nothing else (frankly, i working weekend lazy and forgot to buy plants to plant) this goes on for 1 month after i realised water has cleared

i start off with planing hair grass and a patch of.... i think its HC somewhere last month. things developed. plants GREW! and did not die.

office mates think i crazy. 1 ft tank using Co2 tankl, my big boss came by and sit beside saw the tank and went WA LIAO how come our office got a fire extinguisher!! haha.... nothing much. he went off after we joked. plants grew. after 2 weeks + of monitoring the plants i finally decide to try.

will add pictures to spice things up. so meantime, please wait! ^_^
