What shrimps are you keeping?

What is the black box on the left?
Are you using a rainbar across the 2 paritions?

Thats not a black box.it is just a breeding tank with sponge as background la..hahaha

hmm..so you intend to maintain the ph by just 1 ketapang leaf? how are your parameters like?
i see that you have a very thick sponge beside your partition do watch it lest it gets clog..

Curious about what is your PH. Cos if you are using tap water, the PH is like 7.5 to 8 and I can't see how you can bring it to a suitable PH level without soil. Unless you are using distilled water or Mosura Softwater etc.
I hope you are not just relying to the circular stick on to check your PH.

Get a filter bag and some filter peat. Bag the peat and hang it in the tank. It will help to lower your pH gradually but it is crucial to keep monitoring. Soil can buffer the pH of the water but this capability will diminish over time. A bare bottom tank can work too, provided with the right conditions.

My ph is at 6.2
Gh at 6.
So far so good.quite stable though.
I had cycled my water for about 3months before I add in my livestocks

Wow 3 months ... you are very patience
6.2 is good. How did you bring down your PH?
GH a bit high, best 3-4. You can use distilled water during water change to bring down your GH.

I'm using Mosura PH down and using a syringe to measure it so as not to overdose. I will do my Ph test regularly.
I did not use distill water la..hahaha.just overnight tap water only.I do 1.5litres of WC in a dripping method daily...
