Re: [APD] Adding Carbonates

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

Count on only the KH and GH. IT won't change your CO2
levels. Teh effect on pH depends on how much you add.
Adjust to suit. But you probably don't need much magnesium
so you might want to add some baking soda also if you need
to  increase the pH more.

--- Christel Kassellman is returning to America! ---
The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies will feature Christel, author of _Aquarium Plants_, among its speakers at its 30th Annual Convention. It's the longest running consecutive general tropical fish convention in the country and one of the most fun to attend. 

March 18-20, 2005
