Changing water to raise alkalinity question?

[Lisa Cain]

An alkalinity of 6.7 dKH is not a reason to delay either fish or coral additions. It exactly matches their natural ocean environment.

Thst said, raising alk is a simple exercise of dosing baking soda as folks have mentioned.

Thank you

I use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) if I need to adjust alkalinity. I use All for Reef to maintain it. I think trying to adjust with water changes would be the hard way.

Thank you

The OP posted in a different thread about this transfer earlier in the week that the alkalinity of the old tank (the tank from which the fish are corals are being transferred) was 10.3. So, for my own information, doesn't transferring the fish from a tank with alk at 10.3 dKH to a tank with alk at 6.7 dKH without acclimation potentially harm the fish due to stress and shock?
