    Default microbe-lift KH booster raising ph

    I added some KH booster to get my kh to about 3-4. When I did it also raised my ph by .6 degrees. Will the ph eventually settle down again or will I have to do something else? If so what else?

    Afraid my shimps aren't gonna be happy if ph doesnt fall to 6.5 again.

    KH affects pH; the two go hand in hand, so raising KH would raise pH too. I combine seachem alkaline buffer and acid buffer to get the pH lowish while still maintaining a decent KH.

    The bottle said "slightly" lol. It raised it by quite a bit.
