Maintaining my tank water at 25°C

It is pretty difficult to maintain the tank water at around 25°C as Singapore is pretty hot throughout the year. Therefore some aquascapers in Singapore use chiller to cool their tank water.

I uses the Hailea HC-130 chiller to cool my tank water. This China-made chiller is pretty reasonable priced and it is 1/3 the price of the European made chillers. I am rather satisfied with the performance except it is slightly noisier than the European made ones.

My tank filter, Eheim Ecco 2234

The Eheim Ecco 2234 helps in keeping the water condition in my tank. This filter has 3 individual compartments to store various types of filter media. This filter is small, reliable and the power consumption is only 5W. It has a filter output of 500 liters/ hour. I have inserted the following filter media for mechanical and biological filtration: -

Layer 1 (Top) = ADA Palm Net
Layer 2 = Eheim Substrate Pro
Layer 3 (Bottom) = Eheim Coarse Filter Foam Pad (Blue)

Aquascaping world magazine interview

I feel honored that Aquscaping world magazine have selected to feature Sunny Grassland in their August 2008 issue. Inside the interview, I shared my personal experience about Singapore aquascaping and how to create various background effects using colored posters. Aquascapers can see how simple it is to create different effects such as sunrise & blue sky effect.
