Question: Will adding salt increase ph?

chewzas · July 20th, 2008

I guess that when adding aquarium salt to the water, it will increase pH. But, I was wondering how much it would effect the ph.

Also, if the ph level in the tank is say 8.0, could I still add salt to the water when I do water changes.

I know that most fish like stable ph rather than "perfect" ph. just wondering...

No regular NaCl doesn't increase pH. Why do you want to add salt? It's best not to add it to FW tanks...it's stressful for fw fish.
