1. 衷心建議個缸唔好整咁高, 24" 已經很夠了. 睇下改唔改得切吧....
5. 可以唔駛用o既o野.
6. 用了ada 泥, 乜泥丸都唔駛落了.
7. co2 可以找找 alan2002 貼的文章, 在香港都有合規格的 2kg 英制牙樽, 都係兩百蚊.

唉! 講都唔聽
費事再講...

Hey, don't angry. i understood it is very difficult to manage the tank with that tall. However, i really wanna to keep a tall tank. i just want to friendly talk talk here but not like being 'played' & 'blamed' by fish street guy. Of course i should take your advice after asking here. But somehow, if i don't, please don't unhappy.

I think 4) is not actually needed. U don't want to create too much current to drive off the co2.

huiling: advice is advice. u still make the final decision. Only u can decide what is the most suitable for yourself. So if u still decide to go ahead with 30"H and u have weighed up the pros and cons, that's fine .

30" 高! 缸底的燈照效率必然大大降底...

除非轉養 Corol + 過萬 K 的鹵素膽啦. 咁就perfect lah. 海洋公園咁呀!

四大題議:
1. 魚缸放在地上, 連缸架都慳返.
2. 打坐看魚, 或好像瑜珈坐禪等姿勢.
3. 養些水面草, 如睡蓮, 浮萍. 不用種貴草, 這樣還連修剪也慳返.
4. 在水底裝些水池底燈, 希望有些星空奇遇FEEL.

其實魚缸尺吋各有各喜好，無可厚非。
不得不題，(6) 不但沒有作用(正如Super兄所說)，而且會令到缸水變啡。我曾經試用過(當時還是用砂底)，結果整缸黃黃啡啡，見到都唔開胃!

轉用一支250W或以上的hqi, 可能會打到落底...
或種陰性水草...

唔記得係邊度睇過本書講造景, 有個缸起碼高過個人, 好巨型, 用左四個圓形罩物體做照明

with tall tank, more variation can be done to the substrate.
maybe substrate can have hill, valley, plateau, etc etc. then planting can be done according to the layout, amount of light received, depth, shading, high light and low light plants etc etc, to get a 3D visual effect.
So, it is more difficult with tall tank, but who knows, a beautiful tank with striking 3D look might be the final result!
