The amount the pH will change depends on the kH of the water in the

tank.
The more dissolved carbonates, the less the pH will change. What is your

kH?

Jamie



That's absolutely NOT true. The amount the pH will drop is independent of
the KH. The KH only determines the starting and ending values of the pH.

But
the difference will be the same, regardless of the KH. If you're starting
with a pH of 7.6, then you should aim for a pH of 6.8-6.9.

Oops .. sorry, you're absolutely right. I stand corrected. Brain freeze
perhaps.
