Get it from AT, tell him I sent you.

Hey AT, I get my usual commision, ok?

[[d]3v|L]

tanzy tot u overseas?

[KingFish]

AH....the true wonder of the Internet....

Btw, I chanced upon a nice tank, but only 6mm thick, the boss told me that its made of tempered glass so its suitable for marine tank.

Wonder how true is that?

[BarraCudaTM]

I wouldnt recommend using tempered glass for fish tank especially its so thin, tempered glass will shatter once damaged whereas most glass tanks will have cracks and leak only.

the tempering process is very impt too, if uneven heating is applied or purities contaminated, the tempered glass will fail prematurely

[KingFish]

Thanks BarraCuda, that makes sense.

As I understand windscreens are made of them too. When I had my accident (going 140 in a 70 zone ), I was 'showered' with it, good thing is a least it doesn't cut.

Ok, back to regular glass then.

Hold the Clowns.....

Cycle your tank first....

or else we gonna have another new thread titled.......

"Hey, How come my fish die leh......."

Dun pray pray lah....

[[d]3v|L]

haha.. i cycle 2 week liao le.

[Phang]

Its not the length of time but whether your ammonia and nitrite levels are detectable......

Suggest you check the levels of these 2 before commencing....

[mv3i]

yeah .... don't rush things ....

[[d]3v|L]

i check liao, ammonia nitrate nitrite all 0

[spade]

3v|L,Dec 20 2002, 02:14 PM]i check liao, ammonia nitrate nitrite all 0

little devil,

just curious, what hv u put in to kick start the nitrogen cycle? or u just run the filter for 2 weeks?

[[d]3v|L]

i put in 2 hebe hiam and 3 live brine shrimp for them to die.

[chanbi]

I read from another thread that u just added in 15kg and it is still zero reading for ammonia,nitrite, nitrate? Then either your test kits are not working or u have gotten very good & "living" LR that u manage to maintain from LFS back home and into your tank..

[spade]

a typical nitrogen cycle

due to

or can read here guess u know that already otherwise u won't drop in the hiam+shrimp. i agree to wat chanbi said, and hope is the later

[[d]3v|L]

oops i scared my stupid sera test kit not working.

[kelstorm]

i have the feeling it might be so, my friend.. coz i cycle my tank for 4-6 weeks.. 2 weeks.. i really doubt it.. better to be safe than sorry..

no its 0 before the Lrs are in..

[newdamsel]

maybe your hebe hiam is too small la... mrjoe throws in tigerprawn~~~~ hahaha... i guess the things u throw in is too small to even have ammonia detectable???

[[d]3v|L]

lol wat done is done..

[Anthony]

wahahhaah .. yeah tiger prawn~!....

me also haven buy any testkits .... getting them next week... any1 stay in west area?

want want exchange livesand with my newly bought sand

[Phang]

3v|L,Dec 20 2002, 08:19 PM]

no its 0 before the Lrs are in..

Devil,

15 kg of LR is a very large load for a 2 ft... You most probably will have a Ammonia spike very soon.....

And is LRs are from where you stated, then please lengthen your cycling period.....

Wld suggest you wait a little longer ......

[[d]3v|L]

my tank is 3 ft.. but i stacked it up by the right corner and it looks plain on the left corner.. may be getting more to do up the left. i think its not the matter of the weight of the rock, maybe the way u stack/deco it.
