splitted from thread here.
---- I think for PH crash it might be misleading to have SODIUM BICARBONATE as 1st line of treatment .. SODIUM BICARBONATE is for buffering water, and not for treatment of fish's health  plus if the PH crash, HB wouldn't advised you to dump 2 teaspoon of BS into the water immediately |

It's just for comparison lah.
A mastro like you might find this comparison faulty. But my intention is to explain a not-so-easily-understood theory to a newbie. There's no need for obscure findings/bombastic words to scare newbies away. pH buffering is a must. Period. |
