The soil can buffer the Ph low and I'm using di water also.

Today is the 3rd day of tank setup.

Throw some shrimp into tank.

New keeper please do not follow on adding shrimps in tank within a short period of time.
Please follow the proper cycling process.

For me I have been doing this for all my tanks so I know well in handling it.

bai · 03-09-2014, 11:08 PM

Hi bro,
May I know why need to add liquid bacteria ? Is it because of DI water?
Thanks.

bai · 08-09-2014, 06:16 PM

U can add in powder bacteria if u dun like liquid. There's nothing to do with di water.

When start up a new tank we will add in bacteria (liquid or powder form) to kick start.

Bro...your setup give a simple method to this "complex" hobby!

How often you reset your tank, given that the amount of soil is minimum..when will the ph buffering effect is gone?

bai · 08-09-2014, 06:34 PM

I don't measure my Ph so resetting on tanks depends. If tanks doing well, I will not do anything to it.

Water parameters the only thing I will adjust is tds others nvr measure.
