Just remember there is no short cut if one want to keep the fishes happy and healthy. Eating fishes may not be healthy fishes  |

I change water every two days, for every water change of 50% to 60%, I will add 5 teaspoons. pH maintain at 7.0.
CC, OS and sodium bicarbonate, They are just diff form of carbonate (KH). CC and OS contain calcium bicarbonate and disintegrate at diff rate.
Sodium bicarbonate, max pH 8.4
Calcium carbonate, max pH 9.4
By the way, is there any household getting NEWwater directly?

I need to consult you two sifu...
How to maintain the pH constantly using baking soda huh ?
I dose in the morning, at night drop 1pH value already.
If I forgot to dose at night, next day pH dropped another value...
The only way I can think of is mix with water and use a dripper 24 hrs dripping non stop to main constant pH...
Water change every two days, around 60% too.
But bioload is very high, 1kg mp, 30 baby squid daily...
I feed alot.
Please advice.
Thank you.
