Jardini is gone...

My guess is... being eaten by the tortoise....

This is what happen to my Kelesa...

After water changed they... RIP...

New Location~

2011-04-03T15:39:00.000+08:00

Moved house recently and finally got to snap a photo new location of Kelesa home.

(both Lampan fish dead after an hour after water changed just now)

Pellets

2011-01-20T00:06:00.002+08:00

Nowadays both Kelesa and Jardini takes pellets as their main meals, which for me is very good as it is easier to feed and I don't have to worry of bacterias or viruses which normally found on live worms, fishes or frogs...

Happy New Year 2011!

2011-01-01T23:54:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to all visitors and friends!

Just a quick update, Jardini finally got a mate - Empurau~

Jardini's first meal - meal worm

2010-12-01T19:54:00.001+08:00

Bought some meal worms and try to let Jardini taste it. Well, compare with Kelesa, Jardini sure not as choosy as Kelesa!

New Dragon in the House~ Jardini

2010-11-29T23:23:00.000+08:00

Just got myself another dragon last Saturday (27 November 2010), an Australian Pearl Arowana (Scleropages Jardini). Size around 4 inches (estimated).

Since it's still small, so I transfer the Talapia back to Kelesa home, and two tortoises to their own home. So in the new tank only left with the new Jardini and a small pleco.

Prior to putting in Jardini into the tank, I cleaned the bottom mess by Talapia, and also lower down the water level to half the tank. It's for easy maintenance and also to create stronger fall of water from the over head filter box - increasing oxygen! Also I turned on the UV - to kill gems and bacteria in the water and also to create more oxygen again!

Will try shoot some photos and share here later.

Updates

2010-11-21T13:29:00.001+08:00

Moved Talapia and tortoises to new tank, so only left Kelesa, Alligator Gar, some Plecos and two TFB a.k.a. Lampam inside Kelesa home.

Maintenance

2010-09-26T11:46:00.000+08:00

This morning woke up early so that the time to "overhaul" my Kelesa's tank.

Before

and After:

Changed over 30% water I guess. And added only salt as water conditioner.

Updates

2010-09-05T23:06:00.001+08:00

Last night the return pump hose loosen and causes the main tank have no water returns. Wife found that this morning and woke me up to check it out. Quickly fixed the hose and pump in water but too bad one of the big "lampan" fish died. Should be lacked of oxygen. It's a foot long fish and really wasted la....

RIP

News

2010-08-12T22:45:00.001+08:00

Just some updates...

My bigger green tortoise escaped! Can't locate it anymore.

1 foot + catfish died - attached and injured by Talapia....

New fishes added to tank - by Jeremy, my brother-in-law.

Will try shoot the tank again with new tank members soon.

Water Change

2010-07-24T20:13:00.001+08:00

Done water change yesterday, as well as cleaning the tank's bottom.

Anyway, found one of the lampan fish died hours after than.

RIP

Water Change

2010-06-27T14:50:00.001+08:00

Wonderful Sunday with free time so decided to clean my kelesa home's filters' media as recent weather made the medias full with algae. Water changed about 15% and now it looks so clean!

Food!

2010-05-10T10:15:00.000+08:00

Here's the two most common fish foods I bought for my Kelesa.

Bull Frog

Feeder Fish (Faith's helping up!)

Filter Media Cleaning & Water Change

2010-05-02T11:45:00.024+08:00

Managed to get some time to do a major cleaning to Kelesa home's filter system. I took me about an hour for cleaning and changing water. Salt added only this time as I don't have any other water conditioner.

Here's the photos - looks new and fresh!

Night View:

Water Change

2010-04-01T23:32:00.000+08:00

Done 30% water change as my Kelesa not having good appetite.

Water pH a big high, will try some black water soon...

Kelesa Status

2010-03-31T08:26:00.001+08:00

These days my Kelesa lost appetite. A bit less aggressive than before especially when I throw in bull frog. Also, he hurt his faces and body, scratches here and there, should be from jumping and hit on the glass edge.

Looks like gonna get some black water to make him calm soon.

Water Change

2010-03-13T20:23:00.002+08:00

Done about 10% water changed today and added salt.

Water Change

2010-02-05T22:03:00.001+08:00

Done 40% water change today and added salt and black water.

Top Up Water

2010-01-10T22:45:00.000+08:00

Top up 3 pails of rain water this two days to Kelesa's home.

Missing Flagtail...

2009-12-23T23:40:00.000+08:00

Just found out yesterday that my flagtail was missing from the tank.... highest possibility is that it was swallowed by the catfish, but I still can't believe it.... simply because my flagtail is big size, and there are red parrot and siamese tiger which are smaller in size than my flagtail....

Water Change

2009-12-01T22:31:00.002+08:00

Done 8% water change last Friday (27 Nov).

New Mates

2009-11-15T22:55:00.004+08:00

Well, my bro-in-law just brought over 2 of his 'expensive' fishes into my Kelesa's home, Siamese Tiger and Peacock Bass.

Well, ST seems too small compare to all other residents there, but the PB seems just same size with most others.

Anyway, will treat them a good meal tomorrow, maybe 100 pcs of feeder fishes? But first need to give my Kelesa 2 pcs of bull frogs!

Water Change

2009-11-07T18:11:00.002+08:00

Done water change today, and added black water and salt as water conditioner. pH around 6.8 after 4 hour.

pH Status

2009-10-17T14:43:00.000+08:00

The pH these days drops below 6. Thus today I add in 3 bags of coral chips to boost up the pH a bit. At the moment, pH rises from 5.6 earlier to 5.8 at the moment.

Water Change

2009-10-14T15:23:00.001+08:00

Done water change 10% and cleaned first compartment's Japanese mats.

Added anti-chlorine and salt as conditioner.

Update

2009-10-11T21:21:00.001+08:00

Topped up water as weather these days kinda hot again.

Bought some Talapia fish too and they're quite good cleaner and eater too!

Water Change

2009-09-22T17:41:00.002+08:00

Done water change today, a bit more this time, ≥10%, with salt and black water as treatment. pH around 6.5 and temperature at 30°C.

Water Change

Done water change today, and added salt and black water as treatment.

Clever Kelesa

2009-08-24T14:36:00.001+08:00

I thought Kelesa don't really think first before swallowing live food, I am wrong. Last night I caught a big frog and try to feed it to Kelesa. And, Kelesa tried and don't take it as it's far to big to fit into his mouth. Clever Kelesa!

Water Change

2009-08-17T19:49:00.000+08:00

Done water changed today and cleaned the medias too for last compartments.

Froggies!

2009-08-13T17:11:00.000+08:00

Bought 11 froggies and that should last for 2 weeks for Kelesa's diet.

Froggies

2009-08-06T15:22:00.003+08:00

Well, today bought two small frogs for my Kelesa as food.

And.... @#$*&@#^@#&@*... Kelesa is killing and swallowing the frogs which I don't really feel good to watch it, LOL!

Water Change

2009-08-02T16:38:00.001+08:00

Done 10% water change today, added salt only to treat new water.

Moving Home

2009-07-26T21:01:00.000+08:00

To avoid further damage, moved the two 'terminators' back to the tortoise home!

Shocking!

2009-07-24T22:59:00.001+08:00

Guess what?! My two tortoises just killed and ate my Oscar! Believe it or not, it happened!

Water Change

2009-07-23T13:09:00.000+08:00

Done 10% water change today and added salt too.

Repacking Ceramic Rings

2009-07-12T20:50:00.002+08:00

Done some repacking of my existing ceramic rings into smaller packs, in more durable bags.

Rain Water

2009-07-12T12:30:00.001+08:00

Topped up tank water by rain water yesterday, as it was raining heavily.

pH these days between 6.1 - 6.3.

Measured my Kelesa this morning, he's now 12 inches length!

Night View

2009-07-06T16:25:00.002+08:00

Just took this yesterday!

My Kelesa

Fei Feng (hard to get good shot, fast swimmer!)

Pleco (good cleaner)

TFB a.k.a. lampam

Tortoises!

Water Change

2009-07-02T07:03:00.002+08:00

Done 5% water change last night, as water evaporated a lot during these days and I try not just to top up the water only.

pH this morning is around 6.3.

Close Up Photos

2009-06-21T13:20:00.004+08:00

Here comes Kelesa!

Look here!

Fei Feng~

Water Change

2009-06-21T12:27:00.003+08:00

Done water change this morning, around 10%. Added water conditioner, pH down and salt.

pH still high, around 7.6 at the moment. Hope it drops this time after water change.

Also, I moved my two green tortoises to Kelesa's home again.

Coral Chips

2009-06-19T21:49:00.001+08:00

Just took out all coral chips from Kelesa's home. pH varies between 7 and 8, thus took them out and leave only the one in plant's pot.

Just now also blackout at my area! Luckily I got standby air pump.

New Plant

2009-06-18T18:23:00.002+08:00

Just moved the plant I got from Bintulu to a new pot which I bought yesterday. I put coral chips at bottom as weight. The pot is high because that will prevent the powerful current from pump stirring up the rotten leaves inside the pot, thus messing up the water.

Feeder Fish

2009-06-15T16:22:00.001+08:00

Bought some fast swimming feeder fish for Kelesa just now.

The reason I choose fast swimming fish is because I want to get my Kelesa to exercise as he needs to chase them in order to get them.

pH Reading

2009-06-15T13:56:00.000+08:00

Today's the pH reads 7.1 - 7.3.

Major Cleaning

2009-06-14T16:15:00.001+08:00

Just finished cleaning all filters medias, algae on glass surface and bottoms, all debris and dirts in aquarium, as well as cleaning all pumpsets, and pH probe.

Also, cleaned tortoises tank and moved Oscar to main tank.

Added pH down and salt to tank hoping to bring down pH and also killing all bacterias in tank.

It took me about 2 hours for all these task, but that gonna last a few months before next major cleaning.

Drop Scale!

2009-06-14T09:52:00.001+08:00

Not sure what happened but found one drop scale near left head of Kelesa.

Will try water change later and put in some salt to avoid infection of bacteria.

pH Down Solution

2009-06-12T16:26:00.002+08:00

Been using pH down for pass 4 days and only managed to drop pH by 0.4 so far consuming 2 bottles of pH down solution. Partly it's because the weather is hot and I top up 4 gallons of water every one or two days and my water source is over pH 8.

Today just bought another 3 bottles and hope can bring it to at least 7.

Will try water change this weekends.

pH Test

2009-06-07T22:56:00.001+08:00

Tested pH today and it's really high!

Will try getting some more pH down and black water tomorrow.

Updates

2009-06-06T21:04:00.003+08:00

Well, rearrangement again, but this time to the tank itself as I find the wood and plants looks better when they're all laying on the bottom.

Here are some photos I took just now:

Day Shot:

Night Shot:

Close Shot:

Will try to check pH tomorrow with pH test kit as my pH monitor shows kinda high reading these days.

Water Change

2009-06-05T21:57:00.000+08:00

Done water change tonight before sleep. Well, it's too easy to do water change with sump filtration system. I really enjoy it now!

Sultan In Danger!

2009-06-04T19:10:00.002+08:00

Can't get super worm and feeder fish as they're all out of stock, so I bought some bigger size 'Sultan' feeder fishes, 35 of them.

At first I scared they are too big, but when I released them into Kelesa's home, Kelesa zoomed towards them and swallowed few at one go. As they can only fit into Kelesa's mouth and also Cat fish's mouth, so when I'm backed from work, can't find any more 'sultan', and both of them got big tummy!

Poor lampam, nothing to eat. So I give some pellets again.

pH above 7, hope to bring them down later when free.

News

2009-06-04T11:41:00.002+08:00

Back home yesterday and hope to see Kelesa taking pellets but...

So no choice, after 5 days still don't want to take pellets, so fed him with some prawn and getting some super worms later.

Water Changed

2009-05-30T14:36:00.000+08:00

Just done water changed this morning, around 10%, and added black water.

Hopefully pH can maintain below 7 after I return from Bintulu. Currently pH is 6.8.

Top Up Water & News

2009-05-23T15:01:00.003+08:00

Topped up around 15 gallons of water to the sump today as the water level runs low due to hot weather.

Also, shifted Oscar to sump as it is really a big eater!

pH around 6.9 recently.

Emergency Air Pump

2009-05-22T21:26:00.002+08:00

Just got an emergency air pump yesterday and setup for Kelesa's home, as I'll be away for days and scared got blackout at my area during these days.

Water Change

2009-05-17T17:34:00.000+08:00

Done 10% water change today, and cleaned the ceramic rings and pre-filter.

Also arranged the wood vertically for my tortoises to land on.

pH around 6.8 after water change.

Updates

2009-05-14T18:33:00.002+08:00

Just did a small modification to overflow outlet to sump tank. Will try something new soon, if possible during Gawai holiday.

Night Shot

2009-05-09T00:03:00.003+08:00

Not so clear but can see Kelesa and other tank mates.

New Tank Mate

2009-05-08T22:50:00.003+08:00

Ok, I introduced two of my green tortoises into Kelesa's home. They are really cute!

Water Change

2009-05-08T21:35:00.002+08:00

Done water change today, 10% as usual, and also cleaning up the japanese mats in first compartment, and add pre-filter to the outlets from the main tank to filter all waste.

Here is the pre-filter:

Update

2009-05-07T22:30:00.003+08:00

Just put back a Tinfoil Barb and Oscar to Kelesa's home, as I think Kelesa is bored because no one fight him for food these days.

Also, tried to put my green tortoise into Kelesa's home and looks great! Will make a floating board and try again when free.

pH at the moment is 6.81.

pH Status

2009-05-05T21:23:00.002+08:00

Just checked the pH of Kelesa's home, around 6.81.

Also, had moved two tinfoil barbs to accompany Oscar which I moved to sump tank yesterday. Might get them a new home because I might not want them in my Kelesa's home anymore.

Might try to move one of my tortoise to become Kelesa's tank mate, or maybe will buy a 麒麟 as new tank mate. We'll see then.

Rearrangement

2009-05-04T14:18:00.002+08:00

Well, again I decided to change the arrangement of the filter medias. This time I put a layer of japanese mat at the bottom of second sump compartment, follow by sponge and the rest are the bio/ ceramic rings. At the third compartment, also at the bottom are two layers of japanese mats. On top of the mats are 5-6kg of coral chips as pH buffers as the pH these days quite stable around 6.4 and drops further over time. So hope to keep the pH stable from now on within the range of 6.4 - 6.8 if possible.com

Algae!

2009-05-03T18:15:00.003+08:00

Wow! Just back from Bintulu and found that there are lots of algae grows in the sump compartments! Maybe due to weather these days (summer - hot).

Here's the photos I took before start cleaning my sump:

After cleaning the sump:

New plant I bought back from Bintulu:

pH before water change is 6.88. pH after water change is 6.45

Water Change

2009-04-30T16:20:00.002+08:00

Done water change just now, about 10%, before going back to Bintulu this weekend. I sucked out dirts from tank bottom as well.

pH after water change around 6.63.

2nd Compartment

2009-04-30T09:23:00.004+08:00

Close look at the new bio rings:

Overall view:

pH around 6.55 at noon.

Quick Update

2009-04-29T22:14:00.003+08:00

Can't wait any longer so just finished put in and arranged the new bio rings into the 2nd compartment! (late at night!)

Arrangement at 2nd compartment now is as follows:

Bottom Layer:
- 1 layer of sponge.

Centre Layer:
- Ceramic Rings - Bio Rings - Ceramic Rings & Coral Chips.

Last but not least, water plant on top.

Thus in total I got around 10kg of ceramic/bio rings!

pH around 6.5 at 10 p.m.

Bio Ring

2009-04-29T19:46:00.002+08:00

Just got another 3kg of larger and porous bio ring today!

Here the 3kg rings in the net, will put them into the 2nd compartment at the moment. Later will move it to 3rd compartment substituting the Japanese mats.

Rearrangement (Part 2)

2009-04-29T12:35:00.009+08:00

Not satisfied with the arrangement yesterday so I bought another soft and more durable net to hold more ceramic rings.

Here's the new net with ceramic rings (around 2kg):

Here's the net that I bought yesterday (around 2kg):

Here's the coral chips I put in yesterday (around 1kg):

Here's the water plant I tied together with aluminum as weight/anchor.

Here's the first (Japanese mats), second (coral chips - 1kg, ceramic rings - 6kg, sponges) and third compartments (Japanese mats):

Here's the fourth compartment (just return pump, UV and some feeder fishes):

Overview (UV pumps water to Over Head Filter filled with 1kg infra-red ceramic rings and water return to first compartment):

pH reading today around 6.46 at 11:30 a.m.

Next "project" will be getting another 8 kg of ceramic rings for the 3rd compartment substituting the existing Japanese mats. Will be my next projects. Maybe I'll just get those red coloured one which I bought earlier that claims can release infra-red and create energy water.

Ceramic Rings Arrangement

2009-04-28T21:22:00.004+08:00

Did some arrangement with the ceramic rings at the second compartment. Repack the smaller pack into a larger soft nylon bag I just bought and try spread them on the floor of second compartment so that water will flow through the ceramic rings evenly.

Here's the final result with some sponge at the bottom to stop dirts from first compartment.

pH around 6.3. Thus added in 1kg of coral chips.

My Plochilodus

2009-04-27T19:50:00.003+08:00

Managed to take a nice shot of my Plochilodus aka Flagtail or 飞凤！

Major Cleaning

2009-04-26T18:38:00.003+08:00

Today I did a major clean up for the sump filter.

First I cleaned all filter medias: japanese mats and ceramic rings by rinsing them.

Then I did some rearrangement on these medias. First compartment still japanese mats, 2nd compartments with ceramic rings, and some plants on top, and third compartment with japanese mats again. Might change the third compartment with ceramic rings in future.

Total water change should be around 30% - 40%. Added black water to calm Kelesa.

pH after 3 hours is around 6.37. Might add in 1kg of coral chips tomorrow if pH drops further.

Water Change

2009-04-22T12:09:00.002+08:00

Done 20% water change today and cleaned and divided all ceramic rings into smaller 1kg bags for easier cleaning next time. All together I have ±7kg of ceramic rings at the filter compartments.

Also fed Kelesa with frozen prawn again after water change too.

pH reading at 6.73 after water change. Temperature 31-32°C.

Sun Bath!

2009-04-20T20:32:00.002+08:00

'Summer' is approaching, so the direction of sunrise and sunset also changes (as per my own observation...)

Here is the photo which I just took, where Kelesa is having sun bath!

New Food

2009-04-19T21:08:00.002+08:00

Was just trying to let Kelesa try some market frozen prawn and to my surprise Kelesa takes it! That's very good news to me as they're too many arowana just so picky about food and refuse to take prawn. Will start to give Kelesa prawn than super worms from now on as it's full of 'goodies' for Kelesa and also it's much more cheaper and easier to get.

pH Update

2009-04-18T09:55:00.002+08:00

pH this morning was around 7.01, so I took out the coral chips that I put in earlier. Will continue monitoring it since the pH monitor is on 24/7 now.

Updates

2009-04-16T21:46:00.005+08:00

Just got AC adapter to supply electricity to my pH monitor, so now I can monitor pH 24/7!

Also, custom made a small tank for my tortoises. I placed it beside my sump tank. Should be easy doing water change from now on.

Done setting up the 'energy water' for my tank, but not really sure whether it works as told. We'll see if Kelesa shows any 'sign' of satisfaction or enjoyment.

Here's the modified overflow:

Here's the inlet after UV light:

The overflow outlet:

Final Overview on Bottom Rack:

New 'Infra Red' Ceramic Rings

2009-04-16T11:52:00.002+08:00

Bought these ceramic rings yesterday. They called it 'Infra Red' ceramic rings which creates energy water beside its normal function as bacteria house.

pH Status Update

2009-04-15T12:58:00.002+08:00

Yesterday found out the pH drops to 6.3. So I put in 1kg of coral chips. This morning the pH rises to 6.7. Will continue monitoring and hope to keep it at the range of 6.8-7.0.

Hikari Sticks

2009-04-13T17:30:00.003+08:00

New sticks for my Kelesa's new food training.

Hope to start training soon as last training is not a successful one.

Water Change

2009-04-13T17:23:00.002+08:00

Just done 20% water change today, and clear tank bottom too. Added pH down and black water to control pH at 6.5.

Training : Day 2

2009-04-12T21:38:00.001+08:00

Well, end of training today actually when I see Kelesa is so thin and still don't want to take the sticks.

So, I gave Kelesa a real meals and it enjoys the super worms!

Training : Day 1

2009-04-11T21:22:00.002+08:00

Today started training Kelesa to take sticks. Well morning till evening he don't want to swallow one stick, so pity of him so I feed him one super worm. During these hours of starving, he attacked all tank mates whoever come close to those sticks I fed him.

pH Status

2009-04-09T22:03:00.002+08:00

Well, the pH yesterday and today drop further without any "task" carried out. At the moment it's around 6.57, this morning it was around 6.8.

Hopefully it can maintains at 6.5-7 which is ideal for Kelesa. If it drops too much, I will need to put in 1 KG of coral chips to buffer it a bit.

Might change some japanese mats for ceramic rings these days, stay tune!

Here's another photo I just took:

Update

2009-04-08T21:31:00.007+08:00

Top up sump filter with some filtered water today, mix with water conditioner, black water and pH down too.

Here are the water conditioner I'm using so far for Kelesa's home during water change.

And here's Kelesa's only meal so far (will try to train Kelesa to take Azoo 9-in-1 Arowana Sticks again soon!)

2009-04-05T21:29:00.003+08:00

Well, after using almost 75% of the two bottles of pH Down solution, the pH now is around 6.8, I will see how many days it can maintain below 7, and then will try to do something about it again later.

pH Down - Again

2009-04-03T21:47:00.006+08:00

Well, not satisfied with the water pH so tried pH down solution again and hopefully can maintain the water pH around 7 from now on.

Here's the two pH down solutions I bought today for the task:

Also, I installed new lighting yesterday, blue light which gives bright colour at night which I think is pretty cool and nice!

Also, I planted some plants at sump filter compartments. That is to absorb nitrates in the water.

New Tank Mate

2009-04-01T21:25:00.006+08:00

I got Kelesa a new tank mate - Prochilodus or Phoenix - 飞凤 ,the only vegetarian in the tank (beside the Plecostomus or BDA my father used to call it).

Other tank mates of Kelesa beside those two mentioned above are: Tinfoil Barb x 3, Oscar x 1, Cat Fish x 1. (All gifts from my brother-in-law)

Water Change & Tests

2009-03-31T18:42:00.002+08:00

Done water change today, a bit more this time because I also rinsed half of the Bio Mats too. Might change some of these Bio Mats to ceramic rings soon, my next plan.

Tested pH and Ammonia (new test kit I bought yesterday as picture attached), and the results are 6.8 and 0 respectively.

These days the weather a bit hotter than usual. Maybe summer is coming. Kelesa's home shows 29.5-31°C. There are sunshine at part of the sump filter in the morning too.

Earth Hour

2009-03-29T17:30:00.005+08:00

Yesterday my Kelesa joined the Earth 60 event too. Here is the photo I took before turning off the lights.

And Earth Hour!

Water Change

2009-03-28T15:40:00.001+08:00

Water change and tank bottom cleaning today. Added PSB and Black Water too.

pH currently at 7.

New Kits on the Block

2009-03-26T15:06:00.006+08:00

Azoo pH Down Rocks!

Just got this Azoo pH down solution and added into Kelesa's home.

Just after a minute, pH down from 7.12 to 6.75! It works!

I remembered my last pH down solutions not changing any pH at all after applying. I guess sometimes you need to give "branded" stuff for your pets too!

Azoo KH Test Kit

I read from internet that if you have difficulty changing pH for your water, maybe it's because your water KH is too high. Thus I bought this Azoo KH test kit and try.

Well, following the instructions, and test drop by drop.... nothing happened to the colour of the water. After 20 drops, I gave up. I'm sure my water reading not up to 20dKH!

Will try later time.

New Food

I must admit that Arowana really a big eater! Thus to be more "cost saving" and also for the good on Kelesa's growth, I bought and tried this Azoo 9-in-1 Arowana Sticks.

It says with this and that nutrients and also boost immune system and digestive system. I'm sure Kelesa will split it out after tasting it, but will continue feeding Kelesa on this until it accepted the sticks. It's good for Kelesa in long run too!

Tank mate in Memory

2009-03-25T10:29:00.002+08:00

This morning to my surprise one of Kelesa's tank mate, Lampang died!

From my observation, there are no sign of injuries. Hunger? Not possible! So what could be the cause? Hmm... no idea!

pH now around 7.25. Repack a small bag of coral chips and put into the sump filter just as buffer.

Updates

2009-03-24T21:20:00.001+08:00

Just measured my Kelesa, it's now 8 inches in length! 3 inches in a month plus time!

Added black water and PSB bacteria to the tank today. Also taking out the remaining 1 bag of coral chips and substitute with ceramic rings. Will check the pH tomorrow when got time.

New Tank Mate - Oscar

2009-03-22T18:24:00.003+08:00

New tank mate to Kelesa's home, an injured Oscar from my brother-in-law. And I'm sure Oscar is recovering well in my Kelesa's tank.

With that now there are a total of 7 tank mates of Kelesa.

So far so good, not really any fight yet. Just that they all have to be fast in order to get food as I'm feeding them with super worms, one by one. So far Kelesa is still the winner!

Water Change

2009-03-21T18:12:00.003+08:00

Just did a water change this afternoon, clean most algae too. Looks pretty clean my sump now.

PSB Bacteria

2009-03-19T16:49:00.002+08:00

Here's the PSB Bacteria that I use. Just added it again with black water just now too.
