Hi guys,
Im QT’ing some fish right now and lowering the salinity to 20ppt. To do so I’m adding fresh water to my salt water to bring down the salinity. I’m also adding sodium bicarbonate to the fresh water first to bring up the PH to match the seawater at 8.2. Problem is that over time the PH continues to rise and the water clouds up.
What should I use to raise PH?
Will this cloudiness harm my fish?
What can I do to counter the effect, add more fresh water or salt water?
