Are their any negative affects of dosing soda ash my Alk and ph have been relatively low lately but everything in the tank has been doing fine..I used to dose soda ash a few drops every 10 minuts and it would raise my pH from 7.9 to 8.0 as long as I kept on dosing.
Soda ash is almost the same thing as baking soda. In fact, some people 'cook' baking soda which turns it into soda ash. Both raise alk and soda ash has a short term effect of raising pH as well.Are their any negative affects of dosing soda ash my Alk and ph have been relatively low lately but everything in the tank has been doing fine..
dkh 7.4
ph 7.8 ~
If you use B-Ionic to boost the Alk in your new salt mix, you will be adding some trace elements (which will be out of balance since you aren't adding the CaCl component which also has trace elements.)
It may be better to just add bicarbonate to raise the alk (which won't have much affect on the pH like soda ash will).
