How much vinegar to lower pH in tank
Hello Randy. I've got a 7 bowfront nano in which I've recently begun dripping limewater on a regular basis, as my calcium and alkalinity needed adjustment (zone 2, per your article). I mix 3 level tsp. of Mrs. Wages with 35 ml. distilled white vinegar to each gallon, and I drip roughly 6 ounces per day to the tank.
My pH, consequently, has risen to an undesirable level, and my Salifert kit measures 8.6. Can I add a small amount of the vingar directly to the tank? If so are there guidelines or a formula I can go by in order to lower pH X number of points per Y number of gallons by adding Z amount of vinegar?
If vinegar straight to the tank is not advisable, do you have any other reccommendations as for keeping pH in check when dripping kalk?
As always, thanks!
