Just add a bit at a time to get it around 8 or higher. You can bump your magnesium up a bit too 1300-1500 is good.
You want to maintain consistence as that is the most important keep things stable.
How much baking soda is "a bit" in comparison to a 200G tank? The calculator said I could add 5.4 teaspoons to raise it to 1.3 for instance but it said not to do it all at once. What do you guys suggest?

Also so it will change my pH from 8.3 to higher as in 8.5+? or what? Sorry, Im wet behind the ears... No pun intended... lol
