This magical solution raises aquarium pH in freshwater aquariums to the desired level.

Questions
Will this increase ph from 7.0 - to- 7.8 ? want to have cichlids that prefer 7.8.
- This is a temporary solution to low pH levels. For such a large increase on a permanent basis I would add crushed coral or limestone to the aquarium. This product will increase the pH that much (you'd have to use several doses) but you would have to constantly monitor and add more, which can be stressful to the fish.

Can I use this in my 10 gallon aquarium that has a pH of 6.6 Will it raise it to 7.0?
- Yes it will work. I always do 50% less than the directions state to go slow and not stress the fish.
