Uses (and Misuses) of Sodium Bicarbonate in Aquaculture

of sodium bicarbonate were added to waters with an initially low total alkalinity. For example, if the water has an initial total alkalinity of 200 ppm as calcium carbonate and a pH of 10.0, adding 100 ppm of sodium bicarbonate (about 270 pounds per acre-foot) will reduce the pH only to 9.85. The same amount of sodium bicarbonate added to water ... ................
