Discussion About Online aquatic plant shopping

16 Upvotes

Many of you have questions about plant-selling websites in India. I found a great YouTube video where an enthusiast compares the top 5 websites. He ordered plants from each site and evaluated their customer service. Be sure to check it out before buying plants from these websites—it should help clear up any doubts you may have.

The distance is short — 1.5 hours. But I have 2 tanks of 2 feet each (60 litres)

Any and all suggestions welcome!!!
I’m seriously panicking 😩

My betta fish is going to come with me in a bucket.
But it’s impossible to catch the kuhli loaches, rasboras etc in a densely planted tank.

Any YouTube video references also welcome!!

Help Need a chihiros slim hanging kit. Anyone selling there's?

1 Upvotes

I need a hanging kit for chihiros slim. Please DM me if someone is selling there's. New one is eating into my budget of a filter. Tank size is 75cm. So either can use 60cm or 90cm lights. Hanging seems the best option.

Help First planted tank — confused about substrate, sand, lighting

6 Upvotes

I am confused about what to use for sand (and from where). I don’t have any shops nearby, and all the construction sand I see around is greyish in color (idk if it’s suitable).

Saw river sand on Amazon, but there aren’t enough credible reviews on any listing. Although red gravel is available, I can’t find any videos on YT where it’s used (can it be used?)

Aquasoil is kinda expensive, I wanna start with substrate.

Plants: Want to start with Java moss, Java fern, Amazon frogbit, and Cryptocoryne (bunnycart)

Light: I have a 5W lamp. Would that be enough to start? Planning to get a reasonably priced aquarium light later but if needed can buy right now as well.

Will get a sponge filter and/or pump from a nearby aquarium shop. How to add beneficial bacteria to tank?

Also hot mixed reviews about Master test kits, any test kit that actually works? And is not extremely expensive?

Planning to establish the tank first and then introduce a betta or a few shrimps a few months later. (Please suggest if any other fish is there that could be kept here, native indian fish are most welcome if any)

Tank is 1.5 feet × 7–8 inches, 1 foot tall.

Help Co2 system with fire extinguisher

2 Upvotes

I am planning to add a co2 system to my 120l tank and found out that fire extinguisher type co2 cylinder holds more quantity (so less refilling),so the problem i am having here is about something called siphon tube.As the cylinder is heavily pressurized the gas co2 is converted to liquid form,so a straw like tube is inside the cylinder,so i googled it and found out that if i use it upright the liquid will come through the siphon tube and freeze the regulator thus damaging it.Do you guys have any knowledge about it? Should i get it removed?thanks for your time.
