Hey hey! Another issue!
I've started running a phosban reactor because my phosphates contain water (yes, I typed that right; my water is so loaded with phosphates, the phosphates are actually the carrier for the water).
Getting a little more serious...
My pH and alkalinity have dropped.
Back when I owned a pond, I would fix this by adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). That same thing apply to a salt water aquarium.
My pH is about 7.6 The alkalinity is about 100 ppm. Both a little on the low end.
If baking soda is the preferred method still, then anyone know how much to dose a 75 gallon aquarium to slowly raise it up? How quickly can I do this? Hate to ask and hate to put a timeframe on it, but due to an emergency I need to leave town in two days.
I have a clown, damsel, torch, frogspawn, brain coral (favia and worm), mushroom coral.
