I'm using API KH & GH Test Kit.

According to the chart, 11 drops = 196.9ppm KH.

Forgotten to add my Amonia reading is 0.

I tried using a Hydor Koralia 1 but it's too strong for my tank.

Everything starts flying around. Started a sand storm in the tank!

I think you can get those Hydor PICO pump those for table fountain, I think this is quite suitable for your 12 gallon. Did you check your PO4? If your PO4 on high side put PO4 removal media on the filter chamber to help to reduce it.

Oop... got no test kit for PO4, will go get one and check it out.

Thanks, will try out the fountain pump you recommended.

Thanks Guys!

Thanks for the input and the pm.

Got myself a pico pump and fix it on yesterday.

This morning no more bubbles and the rocks turning back to its original colour!

Really educational in this forum!

Can somebody please teach me how to post pics of my tank in this forum? Like to have some feedback from you guys!
