is ph & alkaline the same?
Sounds like readings from a KH test kit. KH measures
the alkalinity of the pond water. I like to keep the KH at close to 140. Or a pH of 8.4... I add baking soda to get the KH reading up. One cup of Baking Soda to 1,000 gallons of water. Only add one cup at a time each day until you have reached the 120 (in your case) mark. Instructions: Mix a cup of Baking Soda in a couple of cups of pond water. Drizzle the mixture around the pond then water the pond to mix the BS in .... VBG Hope this helps.
