How do I raise my PH
« on: August 24, 2010, 01:07:36 PM »
I just wondering what you need to do to raise the ph in your pond? Besides adding some kind of chemical is there anything more natural you can do????

If you don't mind me asking, what is the pH now and why would you want to raise it?

RWinn - Baking soda raises the KH, not the pH.

Trish is right baking soda will raise the kH and stabilize the ph as long as your GH is somewhere between  120 and 150 ppm.
