but.... one thing doesn't add up. my sakuras die but my mosura and crs didn't.. AHA!! thats the catch to the whole puzzle.

if i so smart, i wouldn't have failed many of my aquatic projects. where do you think my experience came from? definitely still learning new things each day

yah, the CRS survival is indeed intriguing... my only guess is that CRS is more comfortable at lower pH. so when things happen at this lower pH, the sakuras breaks down first.

where got.. ur smart lor.. i didn't even think of ammonia spike. even when u fail u never give up mah.. this kind of determination must learn from u.

im not sure if the ph is the culprit, because my ph is average around 6.4-6.6.

now doing testing suggested by silane.

day 1(lights off) - take reading for day and night
day 2 (light on) - take reading for day and night

buden abit confused.. does it mean i have to on light 24hours for the reading with light on?

[elimmel]

no la. maybe take 1 hr into lights on and then 1 hr before lights off. something like that

[Ningning]

oh. ok.... haha...

okie got the ph results.

without light
day - 6.4
night - 6.5

with light
day - 6.65
night - 6.78

O.o

ammonia levels 0 - 0.2 (cant really decide on the colour)
nitrite levels - 0
nitrate levels - 25

oh crap. still dunno where the problem lie. crs still berrying tho.
