sodium bicarbonate

What's a safe daily increase in alkalinity levels that will not stress out corals? I've seen several different numbers. BRS's calculator recommends not increasing by more than 1.5 dKH in one day. That seems like a pretty high jump in one day. WWC's videos mention not increasing by more than .5...

Hey there! I recently switch my dosing for alk from Soda Ash to Sodium bicarbonate. Do I need to adjust my dose (ml/day) to achieve the same DKH in the tank? I just kept dosing 15ml per day the same as the calcium but now my Alk reading is super low so I'm wondering what's going on? Any advice...

Hey, I've noticed that common alkalinity maintaining products use either only sodium bicarb or a mix of the two. Why Sodium Carbonate is used so rear and why never alone?

I'm trying to decide which 2 (or 3, or 4) part system I want to use with my reef, and am currently comparing Tropic Marin (TM) vs Bulk Reef Supply (BRS) Pharma parts A & B. Here are some observations and related questions. Tropic Marin Part A uses Calcium Chloride Dihydrate, while BRS is just...

Hi folks, I am looking to implement 2-part/balling method using sodium carbonate, however most products I see being sold here in the UK use sodium bicarbonate. I would like to run my pH a little higher, hence my interest in using soda ash. BRS soda ash is not available here, and although I am...

First post here. While I'm new to reefing I still believe that there are some things that I can point out. The first thing that I've noticed was that there are many companies selling Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) . I hadn't taken chemistry in a few years but when I did, I took advanced...
