where you spoted it in KK hospital? i stay pretty close to KK and keen to drop there to get some.

kena green water from last week...

a bit skeptical about how this thing works. only removing ammonia? i can do that by change water. remove nitrate? like that will also kill my plants too right?

got two popular types of willow trees
chinese and japanese afaik
chinese leaves are slimer
they like water so normally grown near lakes
they are known to be very resilient trees.
there is a chinese saying about them... cant remember laio
hu xin chong liu ........

bishan park has some around the "lakes"..
these would be the scrawny ones..not the well leafed ones..
they need a LOT of water.

ACS Primary has some.

Got a baby one but very scrawny la..
will probably die if cut off a twig or two.
Nparks ones looks like this too

suffered from GW for months.... so many WCs
dunno solution so near at hand
blackout for 4 to 5 days clear liao..
can oso try money plant in sump or ios lar
money plant can leave around for long time

maybe can try this willow trick on my over stuffed tank to improve
nitrate. plants get eaten up any ways... very irritating fishes keep
eating the roots section of the plants
and the rest floats up and clogs up strainers..
