Does this product lower the ph in the tank?

Maybe minutely but not enough to where it would have an adverse reaction to the inhabitants. If you dumped the whole bottle in sure, but hopefully you're not doing that :).

it depends on the water that you have at your tap if i turn the water flow down slow i can get a ph of 9

pH is slightly low but not that bad, above 6. I add a little crushed coral in a bag just in case. Check out our flood and drain aquaponics set up!www.aquapaolics.wordpress.com to see it in action at our school

This is just my two cents worth. I suppose if you use enough of it, the pH of the soil could be raised. I base this on the fact that I use sea salt in my Cichlid fish tank to help raise the pH. However, since decomposing organic matter (like leaves and other composting matter) and many fertilizers lower the pH of the soil, it seems to me that the tendency of sea salt (such as Sea-90) to raise the pH cannot be a bad thing, assuming that you fertilize and include compost material in your garden.

I have not experienced this however, it does reduce mineral buildup within the unit.

Just add salt and other chemicals as needed. Salt causes the ph to go up, so you'll probably need ph decreaser once you add the salt, and ph stabilizer as well. That's about it!

This bag is equal to at least 50 gallons of ph down. I use the big side of the scoop to lower 18 gallons from 8.6 (tap) to 6.2 for my pepper plants. You can't go wrong with this, huge savings.

The ph does not change. You can pick up a test kit at WalMart in the pet department to check your ph levels of your water. It will tell you if it is acidic or alkaline. Then test it again after running it through the filter. Mine stays acidic as I have soft water.

Yes the meter works I think sometimes you might get a defective bottle of carbonationYou can tell when the tank gets low because it take longer to fizz it

Yes. My tank is a bit smaller (maybe 2.5 g) and it keeps the water a steady temperature for my Betta.

My Ph did go down... But my proof is in my plants, no more yellowing leaves, I do not have to use Ph down. I also can now drink my tap water, does not look cloudy..

I was having the same issue in a very well planted aquarium. I got a good test kit and found that the pH was too high and the water was too alkaline. So, I have been slowly adding substrate and driftwood pieces that will bring the pH down and used a water softener pillow. After about a week, I think I am seeing berries - no little ones yet, but I am very hopeful.

I have no idea..i used it in my pool and it worked great..cheap alternative to ph reducer..when i think they are the same product..either way it works ..but you better find out if the state you live in is run by the progressive liberal..they have outlawed it here in oregon..we cant buy it anywhere here..its against the law..were to stupid ..and we WERE a farming state..look to agenda 21 for why..good luck.

Any. All ph meter should be calibrated once a while with a solution like this. You will find helpful to use the one suits best for your measures. Lets say you have to measure ph levels arround 5. So you get the 5 calibratiom solution. Or you need to measure arround 11, then you get the 11 calibration solution. Or like me, for marine aquarium, that o need to be as acurate around 8, then I use this product. Some meters will require two calibration Solutions, check that too.

Yes it can. Adding CO2 to the tank will tend to drop the pH. How much depends on the hardness of the water and the amount of CO2 added. Just be sure to monitor the pH and be sure it stays within the safe range for your fish. Some fish will prove more sensitive to this than others and many will tolerate a fairly wide pH range anyway. The other severe problem would be adding so much CO2 that the oxygen level drops to an unsafe level. Unlikely with this system. Also, an easy problem to spot as some fish will gasp at the surface while others become lethargic on the bottom and would appear to be "gasping." I doubt that would happen with this product.

I would not do that. Not sure how this stuff affects ph etc... Use aquarium specific materials.

I don't know the ph level. This product does seem to be a little weak. It needs 2 dropper squirts full per 16.9 ounces of water instead of the usual one dopper full. As a result, you will flavor half as many bottles of water as usual.
