Finally reach home at 6:00 p.m, i can say it was a very tired day drive for more than 120km. Once reach home, install everything in.. put eveything in.. here is what i got..
Complete tank.. but still lack of plant.. coming soon..
Let us see what will happen to this tank.. dead or alive ?
so fast put live stock? why not wait the water cycle 1 week with beneficial bacteria while make sure the plant is stable...
ReplyDeletethere is few way to cycle the tank, normally planted tank cycle means to building up a colony of beneficial bacteria to convert Ammonia to Nitrite to Nitrate. Hence, it was advisable to put light amount of hardy fish to produce ammonia (fish waste). But frankly speaking maybe my fish is a little too much.. haha..
ReplyDeleteO.o wondering.. the water is dirty at 1st.. how bacteria breed.. = =
ReplyDeleteHow to determine dirty. Need ask back that nlfa shop.
