You can go to the washing powder section to find the large box version ... more economical.

Thanks again bro.

One question... 6 rays in a 6*2.5*2 ft tank.. Is it too much bio load ? What is the idea qty of rays? Also feeding 2 times per day is it too much ?

That would really depend on how much you're feeding...
I feed about 1kg of mp and about 20 baby squids per day in my 6x3x2.5.
but WC is 60-80% x 4 weekly.
maintaining the pH and filter wool constantly choking is my main problem, otherwise no issue.
cannot afford to be lazy.

Your 6 rays are still pups.
At this stage you should feed them as much as possible.
Your 2x daily is minimum feeding already.
Bio load is actually ok considering the tank size. But I would suggest to forgo the CC and just dose bi carb. Maintain PH 7 as much as possible.

I would assume of course you possess all the required knowledge of fish keeping and water maintenance. You've been keeping exotic aros for so long.

Oh.. Use a good water conditioner and don't scrimp on feed quality.

IMHO, I think all your problems arise because your tank is not fully cycled yet or was fully cycled already but u did some overhaul/washing of your sump/filters/medias recently? By recent I mean these couple months.

Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate.This is used for buffering PH in ponds and aquariums.

Baking powder is sodium bicarbonate with a dry acid and corn starch and CANNOT be used for buffering pH.

Please do not get the wrong one!
