If I raise my alkalinity around .5 dkh, will this have a measurable affect on my pH? If not, will 1 dkh? Is there a calculator for this type of equation?

I'm assuming the question is not about the temp increase, but long term increase due to higher Alkalinity.Depends on what alk product you are using.
Yes long term. I struggle with low pH and have limited ability to do anything about it. So I was hoping a .5 -1 dkh increase might assist the problem.I'm assuming the question is not about the temp increase, but long term increase due to higher Alkalinity.
Thank you! Is there anything like this with dkh since that is what I am measuring. Converting it all is a PIA, but I can do it, if nothing better exists.Courtesy of a Randy Holmes Farley article;

2You may mean one of two entirely different questions,
1. If I boost alk with product X by 1 dKH, how much does alk rise or fall instantly?
2. If my tank has an alk higher by 1 dKH, how much higher will my pH be, everything else identical?
Which are you asking?
Thank you! I was hoping for a higher number, but I appreciate the info!In that case, a rise of 0.5 dKH is associated with a rise in pH of about 0.02 to 0.03 pH units, depending on the starting alk.
