So I tested PH today with my Hanna checker and PH is reading 8.5 to 8.6 which is high. I’m assuming it will gradually come down?
my second question is I have been using soda ash to raise the alkalinity which in turn raises the PH. So I know why my PH is high. My question is can I also dose sodium bicarbonate (which will raise alkalinity but won’t raise Ph for long if at all) while I’m using soda ash?
will I see any effects from using soda ash then changing to sodium bicarbonate?
should I worry about a PH of 8.6?
been battling alkalinity I’ve been hitting 6.4 DkH trying to keep it above 7 and a target of above 8 I will need a doser real soon. Tank is consistently consuming alkalinity.
