Finally got some time to post up the pics I took. Pardon my lack of skills and the blurry pics. I don't have a macro lens to take really swee shots... + a pathetic tank light... hard to take nice pics... Will try my best to take better shots next round.

Argh! Had a close look at my tank and found algae growth on the tank glass and white worms! Zzzz... Anyone has any good solutions to clear out these white worms? I'm thinking I should cut down on the feeding... And maybe try to vacuum those worms out.

There is a post the forum where this guy used a prefilter to construct a Purigen reactor. Looks very effective, I almost wanted to try it, but I think it's quite unsightly for my current environment and the situation isn't that desperate for me yet |

One time my planaria problem got very bad that I decided to resort to chemicals and purchased a packet of Fenbendazole. I read it works very well in killing planaria and is relatively safe to most fishes when used in correct doses. But in the end I did not use as the reduced feeding and water change did the trick, and I always try not to use chemicals. |

Nice to see that your tank is up and running! How is your aquaclear filter serving you?

Psych:
It looks like Purigen-in-a-bag isn't working out that well. Am not too sure how a pre-filter works. Would you need an additional pump or higher volume pump to ensure you don't suffer too much loss in flowrate? I did remember watching a video where a canister was used to house some media which were free moving. The water flow through the canister was whirling the media around the canister. Am not too sure if this is what you were referring to. If I remember reading correctly, Purigen comes in very small beads. Will be quite a task trying to contain the beads in the canister, if that's what you were referring to. Planaria refers to the white worms? Am going to do a water change + a filter cleaning this friday. Hopefully it's due to excess food particles stuck in the filter. Will prob do a few water changes regularly after that. Hope that helps to clear out the Planaria. JIG: The Aquaclear's working out fine. It's really silent and clears up the tank really quick. My only beef is the Amazon Frogbits. Drives me nuts everyday. The frogbits have these really long and fragile roots that get easily torn off when they get snagged on my DW. The roots then get sucked into the filter inlet. As I wanted to have my filter inlet closer to the bottom of the tank, I used the extension intake tube provided with the Aquaclear. This resulted in me having 2 inlet sieves to unchoke as and when the roots get sucked into the intake tube, since the intake tube and inlet sieve are 1 complete unit. lol, I hope you get what I'm trying to describe. Will post pics when I get home after work today for better comprehension. On a side note, i'm thinking of dismantling the rock shelter on the left side of the tank. Am just wondering what to do with that space though. The tank looks really bare with just the 1 DW and 2 nanas. Anyone has any suggestion? |
