Daily pH Fluctuation
Daily pH Fluctuation — Caused by low alkalinity, excessive algae (daytime photosynthesis → pH rises, nighttime → pH drops), or dirty bottom producing acid.
Symptoms
Morning pH < 7.5, afternoon > 8.5 (swing > 0.5-1.0). Shrimp stress, skip afternoon feeding, uneven molting, scattered red body.
Risk Level
pH swing > 1.0 per day → severe stress, Vibrio/EMS risk increases.
Treatment Protocol
1. Increase alkalinity: ALKA UP 2-3 kg/1,000m³.
2. Cut algae if too dense: OZYME.
3. Stabilize bottom: SOILMAX, NITROBAC.
4. Regular mineral supplement: GROWMIN, MIXBOOM.
5. Monitor pH twice daily (6am and 2pm).
