I'm keeping guppies in green water, in container that is about the size of shoe box, with floating plants, no WC, and no siphoning of poo.

I'm keeping guppies in planted tanks and ponds, in door and out door, with and without filtration system all have, all doing well.

The key is to keep the whole system in balance.

I just reached home from work, took videos of my setup to share.

Shoe box size containers breeding setup. No aeration, no water change, with floating plants. Those fry in first container just born today.

Aeration driven sponge filter setup. Water change about 10% daily. These are on dried food only, those full black are for new dried food experiment.

YouTube Video

Planted setup with external filration system. Very minimum water change. Guppies breeding inside.

Bro...no hard feeling la, no each wrong nor rite. There are many other alternative to fix a PH problem. My approach may be different but the objective is common (sharing)

Well say its all about sharing as everyone have their own way of keeping. That's what forum is all about ( am I wrong? Lol) to me there is no rite or wrong is how u tink and accept things =} so back to the point is it All rite for my ph notice some times my tap ph can reach till 9 so wads the option ? Tinking of adding ketapan but consent is scare ph drop to much hard to control plus dun have any on hand and sun dare pick as I scare pick wrong and raining season nw so dun tink even if I pick the leave still gt much juice
Wanna age the water but gt Space constrain

What do you mean by "...adding ph down..."

Solution for ph to drop

[KeeHuat]

Why do you want to drop the PH. We are trying to maintain a PH of 7.0 and above and you want to drop the PH. I don't understand the logic.

Lol coz I was wondering if my ph is too high is about 8.5-9 if its ok I will just leave it coz I when I read up ph should be 7-8 for guppies sorry coz very new to. Guppies

As far as possible, I don't want to add any chemicals to the water to bring it up or down. I've tried that in the past and I was forever trying to manipulate the PH. I added some solution and then it didn't work, so added more and more, etc. In the end, I added so much solution and screwed up the water. Nowadays, just aged it and put it in the tanks. Do regular top up and periodic water change.

I've never got PH of 9.0 from the PUB water, max. 8.2
