when to a DIY shop n bought this....a pinewood plank....cost me $9.90.

[spawns]

again this is not my final setup....still need to make the hood n cabinet....

did some measurement on the pine n need to machine cut(when im free that is...)

so ladies n gentlemen, time for ur comments.....need to improve somemore....

any ideas?

i didnt see any powerheads in the tank

cant fix any the smallest in the market are all giant size compare to my pico tank...

anyway, from what my observation is,the small external overflow did the job quite nicely. theres seem some movement of tiny DOB in the water.

im planing to add a pair of ###### shrimps in a few wks time.....what do u thinks guys?

[hamannbmw]

should be ok.. especially u r using yr old tank water.. but still need to monitor the parameters.. I think if u keep 2 small fishes and some shrimps should be ok lar... U try first and let me know ya....

I think if u keep 2 small fishes and some shrimps should be ok lar...

maybe adding some tiny bumblebee snails too(hv u guys seem those lately at any LFS anywhere?) BUT strickly no fish. i dont think any fish could survive long in such a small tank unless somebody wants to DIY me a tiny skimmer.

ok,im off to work now......
