    White spot

    well coming from someone who went low sg for 6 weeks to try and eliminate ws i'd check my water, do some decent water changes, add some shrimp if none there and wait it out....feed well and often also this is so not what i did :-? most people seem to go a mixture of these options and its seems to be only freaks go copper or hyposalinity

    no it rose from 8.4 to 8.8 on the back of raising the dkh by 1. i want to know if the raised ph is something i should lower or does it happen naturally.

    dosing virgin

    yep thats me..thanks to drifty for the goods ive dosed Mg, Ca and Baking Soda (over a couple of days and not huge shifts were needed) my ph has risen and i understand the baking soda is the cause rather than the other 2.....is this correct and if so is it temporary or is something to be done to lower it ?? thanks..
