i thinkin of using those white sand... den deco it with rocks... maybe not addin plants. save on the lighting n co2 tank... to get new canisters...

Actually with just nanas and ferns, theres no need to use CO2 and bright lightings bro. No need CO2, and just normal FL or perhaps a set of PL will do. Really low maintenance tank.......maybe u can try on a 2ft first.

Anyway, white sand and rocks will look great too.

i think this setup is damn cool! fahaka sure will have a fun time living inside..
but if u feed live ghost shrimp..the deco might get 'rearrange'

Simple tank is better lah... Easier. But add some DW with hardy plants tied to them. Will be cool...

yeah....this setup can be acheived quite easily i think...just get a nice and tall DW, then place it down. Then get those nanas and ferns tied to small pieces of DW, then just place it, some below, some on the DW at different levels. Ok liao......will look great.

Just came back. Was at an internet cafe earlier on. Suffered from withdrawal symptoms and had to log on.

No puffers there. Only got a few nice LH. Lots of oriental whip snakes and corn snakes to be sold as pet. If only I can have one!
