hi nizz, but y do u wanna raise the perimeter? as long as yr plants and fishes r thriving, then best not to change anything
Hi fellas
Need clarification (after reading so many articles on the abv). Given dat my current KH is ~3 & pH ~6.4, if i were to raise both, I can do it via addition of sodium bicarbonate? This is with the assumption dat my current CO2 supply stays (~1 bubble per sec). Mine's just a 2ft tank, btw.
Or shld i do anything at all? All inhabitants of the tank seem to be doing fine...
Thx.
Nizz

no need to adjust anything
kh 3 ph 6.4 is about there
and yes, if you were to want to raise the pH via raising the kH, adding nahco3 will do
Simon & DEA: Thx for the inputs. Dat's wat i thot, but didn't want the water too soft for the fish...?
Simon: I believe the word shld be 'parameter' & not perimeter....

kekekee.. thks for correct my english, teacher
nizz,
kH at 3 is not really considered soft. I too suggest you don't adjust you parameter (not perimeter... lol). Leave it as it is.

Ok fellas. Thx & will heed ur respective advice & monitor....
Simon: Now worries mate...just thot it'd be difficult to change the 'perimeter' of my tank wifout dismantling the glass panels, dat's all...hahaha

nizz, just beware of pH crash if your kH drops below 3.
Noted, WKS. Thx. Does such a thing happen overnite (instantaneously) or does it occur gradually....say over 24hrs or something like dat...?
