hakimabdullah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi all, been camping in this forum for quite sometime...as the title says, yea...i am one kancong spider..as in putting in livestock too soon, etc...etc...so here goes noting, use to keep fw tank many years ago while i was a kid...didnt even know of wats parameters,filters and some other stuffs which im supposed to...lolx...noob after all...bt the thing is, i did manage to grow it to quite a size..abt 10-12cm from a baby.. so yea, thats my fw tank many years ago...as mention earlier, have been wanting to keep marine tank since young, bt u know, its not cheap with all the neccesary accessories required...lolx... So lets not go all around the world telling this n that, so here's what i had after so long...decided with a nano tank 25cm by 25cm Skimmer i was searching here and there not knowing which to fit inside the tank..end up with Boyu wg308 which i find its rather small.. I did got myself some sand from qianhu which im not too sure myself if its meant for a marine tank.. Also some dead rock from there too...and also some live rock from farmway (which is ahbeng) Also some sea salt which u cant recall its brand from jireh... All in all wat i got was 1x skimmer 1x hob filter 1x bag of sea salt 1x bag of sand 1.5kg of mix live and dead rocks. After getting everything in..this is how it looks... Pardon my noobness...
