Hight TA and low ph

[bmnewland]

Kinda confused on the best way to raise my ph without raising my TA. I believe you suggested to use borax instead of baking soda as it has a lesser affect on the TA. Am I on the right track. Thanks.

Lastest test is: ph:6.8 and TA:140

The best way is to aerate the water. Aim your returns at the surface, have a bunch of kids over. Anything to churn the surface of the water.

That will also raise the ph?

Aeration raises the pH without affecting your TA.
