I am having problems in my new 150 gal tank which is still cycling. I keep adding soda ash to raise the alkalinity and does go up momentarily but something just sucks it out of the water and the level goes right back down. also there is a building up on the glass and equipment so I would assume that it is percipertating out. my mag level is over 1400. calcium is at 430.
anyway somebody suggested using sodium bi carbonate instead of the soda ash. what is the difference between the two? will this help my situation with the percipertation?
