Water Change & Tests

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

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

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

pH currently at 7.

New Kits on the Block

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

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

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

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!
