KH issues
Hi,
I have an issue raising my KH level beyond 5. the PH is 8.3~8.4 but KH is not going up as I add the KH balance supplement. I tested the solution by adding a drop of it to a test tube and is shows that the supplement works but Its not having any effect when added to the tank. Any suggestion? Thanks, Bijan

I've had the same problem recently. I'm using ordinary baking soda and raising it up slowly. You can "bake" the baking soda too for a more potent powder, but it can raise your pH as well. Basically it's the "Part 2" of a 2 part additive.
