I'm too cheap to pay for the acrylic container($38onwards) so i DIY


example

I also like to DIY. Feels good to make your own stuff. Sometimes look abit ghetto thou.

But if it comes to filter, i am totally sold on HMF, hamburg matten filter. Truely low cost yet totally efficient and zero maintenance for 1 year. See link below for more info.

Congrats on new pets.

Where do you house them?

Both crabs are semi terrestrial. So they need land access and also a water aquarium.

Vampire crab need freshwater but batik crab need brackish water if not it will not live long. So they cant really be house together for ideal living condition.

Yeah , but honestly in SG to use it effectively is far in between.
To have a HuGe sump and a air pump capable to dish out the flow it required.

Hi pyro77.

K1 cost about $4 per kg if you buy 4kg package.

You can buy them almost anywhere. C328 have them.

K1 media is very efficient because of oxygen coming to very close contact with the aerobic nitrifying bacteria on the k1 media. Turbo boosting these bacteria at removing ammonia and nitrite.

But k1 media has low surface area compared to ceramic rings or sponge. So you really need to use alot of it to be of any meaningful purpose. This result in a need for sump to house the large volume of K1.

If you have 2 or 3 feet tank. Dont need k1. If you have 4 or larger tank and have high bio load, can consider k1 for maximum efficiency but at higher cost.

Ok i found these in my mum's garden. Safe to use? I've etched it and doesn't leave any marks. Besides using vinegar, any other method to test? I read using vinegar isn't really a good way to test.

Your rock looks like granite. Should be safe. But you can use the below. Contain 8.8% hydrochloric acid. Can definitely test for carbonate rock.

Seems fw aquarium has gotten quite complicated from the days when I was little... Just wash once a month clean filter feed once a day.. Now I see must have co2 for plants also and what not.. Cost must have gone up quite a bit also..
