Are your fish showing any signs of being in distress that would lead you believe your ph may possibly be to low? If your fish are thriving content,healthy and happy,I don't think I would be to concerned with raising the ph. Last edited by Cichlid Keeper at 14-Jan-2005 21:58

I wouldnt change it much more than .1ppm a day. Baking soda will change the KH not the PH... I agree on not changing it if it's stable, fish are stressed by changes in ph, once you change it you will need to maintain it in order to not stress your fish. ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]
