Re: [GSAS-Member] CO2 day 2

Hi Matt,

I add Baking Soda (NaHCO3) routinely because it seems to help my plant
growth.  I try to get in the 3.0 - 4.0 dKH range but if I forget to add
NaHCO3 when doing a water change the KH drops.  Here is where I go to
compute how much Baking Soda to add to raise my KH a certain amount based on
the gallons of water in the tank (not tank size).  Typically if a lot needs
to be added I do it gradually over a couple days or so.
