haha thx.
Nah i dont believe in those stupid ph up down chemicals also lol...it just doesnt make sense if u think about doing wc...unless you so much space to have a spare tank to store the water for aging and purifying before use to do wc which i think 90% of the world population dont have such luxury...
For me all i care about is clean water and bacteria (i'm a bacteria nutcase)
For now i took out all the coral chips already since the ph is high.
I using "
Azoo arowana live water" from now on which is also a
dechlorinator as well as a ph stabalizer as it replaces the lost KH during water changes. Basically like a all in one convienient solution so i no need coral rocks for dKH.
Now my tank not so complicated water chem already.
only 2 solutions i using will be
azoo aro live water for dechlorinizer and
nutrafin cycle (bb solution)Probly add vitamins later lol but yeah...
I mainly focus on the bacteria...since i took out all the cc in the filter i replace with more ehiem substrate rock filter media lol..
I wont be using K.leaves either cuz i really dont know how to use them..and scared of ph fluctuations...i'd rather just let the ph be as it is and keep it stable
So i will just stick to regular 20-25% water changes every saturday which i've been doing anyways and maybe a 10% change on some weds along with it if i'm that free after work
My arowana is from xlsa, thier cert will be br/cr arowana.
The reason is because the new ranking system in xlsa is that br/cr is the same 1st grade and no difference..
2nd grade is the super red, and 3rd banjar red.
They have no differentiation btw chilli and blood anymore. I confirmed it with the manager who really got

with all my questions but least he was happy to entertain me (of course la..i paying =.=!)
I price listed rm3k+, i got offered rm2.6k

really big hole in my poket money d lol

WOW 2.6K... pls upload the pic when u get it.... I have a golden super high back.. but the scale only reaches 4th level.... (6 inch currently)... is there such thing as a low grade or high grade superhigh back?... my supplier told me i need to wait 1 year (12 inch) for the fish to reach full potential....
hope i am not cheated.....
BTw is there a low grade and high grade chilli red? im really confuse.... sometime i saw people selling chilli red at rm2k.... some 2.6k....some rm1800.... the price difference izizt becuase of the grade?
I saw a LFS soaking the ketapang leaves in a pail.... ones the leave releases the brown thingy.... the will use the water and add to the aquarium directly to get hte ph they want.... i gues that is how u use the leaves...
