I m using a 5x1.5x1.5 sump with 80% bio-ring.

Check PH ard 6.0 which is abit low. Already added a bag of coral chip.
Ammonia ard 0.2

Also looking hard to clear my two Kel, which now already 10"..big eater...think that is one of the cause also.
Also want to clear 3pcs of TFB, which also 6"...they all create extra shit too.

I noticed, some pallet do foul the water (hazy, smokey or cloudy) I think the undissolved filler (fiber) cud be the reason, may be change to other brand gib better result?

Perform WC. Suggest 40-50%. The pH of our tap water is in the range of 7.2-7.8

Suspect maybe the CC take into effect...but I never measure the PH
