hahahaha bro thanks for the compliments but all are here to learn.
whatever anyone ask about a query or for comments, everyone will just state their point of view or share their experience (:
end of the day, just read EVERYTHING and come up with something of YOUR OWN which you think suits you BEST (:

not that much diff lah, im from late 80's and there are alot also from 50's, 60's 70's, just that they low profile or haven't speak yet hehehe again, all is here to learn and it's never too late or too old to learn (:

as for your new setup, looks good (: one thing to comment though, e water still quite yellowish.. maybe due to food.you might wanna get yourself some test kit to check on things like nitrate and pH level (:

have fun and enjoy your 3 tanks (:
all the best!

Hsieh2 , Terima kasih, Kum sia...tsiao ren bu kan......you too nice. As for the color, may be due to my camera becos the African Ciclid tank is really very clear. Mebbe as one would say established alredy. Other two still little cloudy plus my frontosa tank is one the lower level so my young son like to feed and overfeeds them

It could also be the ligting I us - Warm White and not Daylight.

On another subject WEIGHT of tanks....do you know a mini grand piano is about 900 lbs and they are placed in HDB apts? I dont know just how this works out in kilos as I used to pounds and not kilo

So if a baby grand is allowed in a hdb why not 2 tier five feetn or 6 ft?

900 pounds is about 450 kg bro

nice frontosa set up, btw warm white tube will give slightly yellowish effect.
some tanga keepers sometimes mix their daylight tube with actinic blue to enhance the blue/white of the tanga fishes...

I use red spot snail bought from hong yang aq for solving algae problem. Make sure you get the correct one. The are pH tolerant.

Go google to check for its photos, they are reddish with spots.
