    I need to raise the pH of some freshwater to match my SW DT.

    I can't find a calculator for this.

    Is it the same as raising pH of saltwater?

    thanks.

    I probably need to add some info to this ;)

    The intent here is to give a new clam a dip. I'm heating the water to match DT. I need to raise the pH too.

    I suppose a simple air bubbler might do the trick? Or should I go the baking soda route?

    So, I guess I don't know which to do and/or how long to run the bubbler but more so not sure on how much baking soda to raise FW pH.

    I haven't got the clam yet, LFS said they have 3 in stock. ;D

    Just getting ready.

    Yes it is the same.
