Baking Soda Additions

Personally I don't see the benefits outweigh the expense/trouble to chase the 8.3 PH. That is just my opinion.

I've got a bottle of Seachem PH 8.3 buffer I won't use if you're interested in it PM me. I bought all of the meds/chemicals from someone getting out of the hobby and they were part of it.

No thanks. The 1 part buffers usually do more harm than good.

I remember when I worked at Petsmart some 15+ years ago, we used baking soda to euthanize extremely ill fish.

Well yeah if you overdose it. You can do the same with anything.

I think you asked about my skimmer? I have a Lifereef 36 inch skimmer and it is the best I have ever had, and I have had a few including Coralife and Reef Octopus.

I dont have room for 36. Maybe someday with a bigger tank. I work at an acrylic manufacturer so i can get get 1/2" sheets for free. Thinking about a free huge DIY tank. But I dont like scratches and I'm afraid of a DIY disaster.
