I'm just dropping a pellet or two everyday. Cleaning in up at the end of the day. Hopefully it will realise that the pellets are actually food.

Starving your fishes for a few days is the way to go.

Just got my new HM digital APS-1 meter. Did some measurements ,
- NTUC Pure water ( distilled ) 9 ppm
- my tap water 114 ppm
- water treated with peat moss 394 ppm
- my tank with ketapang/peat water, rotten leaves 523 ppm![]()
Maybe have to recalibrate..

Henry aka joopsg
Current tank: 1 4 tier 3ft fish rack
Livestock: WC Ivanacara Adoketa, WC Apistogramma Kelleri 'Red Cheeks', A , WC Apistogramma Mendezi, WC Apistogramma Cruziero, WC Apistogramma Elizabethae and WC Biotoecus Operularis.





Should be fairly accurate as the meter is pre-calibrated before shipping. Also, i have found quite a few posts on ketapang leaves increased the tds reading.
The tds reading for my tank, i guess, there are many rotten leaves in the old tank. Usually i dont bothered to remove the leaves, letting them disintegrated completely in the water. Posting this to notify those using ketapang leaves to lower the pH of their water
My bitiaeniata from AC...the video quality is so so as using my lousy sony HP.

Nice bitiaeniata beautiful. So the ketapang leaves must be taen off after how many days?
















Ok, I am quite sure now my TDS meter working fine. Mistakes that i made,
- Rotten leaves should be removed or not too much ( i really put in alot)
- I dumped peat moss into the pail and filtered the water out, not the right way as the peat decomposed in the water adding on to the TDS
Now I am slowly adjusting the water back.



Why put mirror in the tank ah? Curious





Hi guys ,
Just to check is it ok to keep dwarf cichlids in temperature of 23-25 degrees ? (aircon room ) is it too cold for them ?
So far only tried in my living room temperature wise is about 28-30 degrees .
