Nice crs.
Not that simple at all.

Tank's into 9th day of cycling. On the 2nd day couldnt resist so brought home 2 lower grade commando from office to test out the home tank. When i returned from overseas last fri they are still alive and kicking.

Over the weekend bought some willow moss and did some 'lazy man's' way of incorporating into the tank.

your 'lazy man's' way is a creative way of planting the moss and of course it looks good

not bad wor, looking good. btw your title wrong lei~ (ISO standard setup for CRS )sound better.

no thanks to the bogwood, really time consuming to tie, in the end the remaining moss just wanna find the fastest way to finish them up

good de afternoon my title is because my crs all economy class one

are those ceremic rings? they look huge! what plant did u put into it?

may i ask a question? what is the consumption rate of the chiller? roughly how much it contribute to the monthly bills?

i just set up a tank a month ago with fan only. introduced some shrimps but not much success.

hi Huizhong, those are ANS mini bact, a pack less than 20buck. Plants are all willow moss. I didnt monitor the bills but reading through other threads, it would not be too big a burden compared to other appliances like home aircon etc.

For crs, it would be good to have a chiller.using fan will lead to faster evaporation of water. Whats your setup like? Size of tank, filtration, how long it has been cycling, tank parameter readings etc? Post a thread and let the experienced bros advise you further. Most important is not to rush before the tank is stable, though it's easier say than done

I had a crs tank in year 2007 but was facing problems as well.

The setup was awesome even though you did some lazy man's work, very very nice. If for me I would be lazy to tie those willow's moss already.
