Entry 2: 8 May 2014.
I tested the waters today and got the following readings:
gH: 2
pH: Between 5.5 - 6.0
Ammonia: 4.0ppm
I know ammonia is still a far cry from the desired result and the gH is acceptable according a workshop done by silane at GC (I saw it in a FAQ).
However, it is said that the best pH for CRS is high 5s to 6.5. May I know is 5.5 acceptable?
I am using some balanced filter media from the owner of the previous filter, who used the filter for shrimps previously. He stated that he used Powerhouse filter media and I think it's the one that prevents pH from rising too high. May I know if this may the cause of it?

Also, I hope someone can help me ID the moss and ID the small green bush/weed on the wood as well! It looks really strange.
Thanks Bro! Will keep that in mind.
