how does plant cause wastewater ph increase (alkaline)?

Admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:47:50 +0000

This question is related to phytoremediation. The plant used for the experiment is Water Hyacinth. The result for the pH is initially increasing (alkaline) and finally decreasing (asidic). What is the factor causing the pH to rise and drop?

What does PH Down mean? I went and got my pool water checked today and it said on the instructions to add?

Admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 18:10:04 +0000

3 and a Half ponds of PH Down. So the total instructions were 10 pounds od Alkaline….20 lbs of Calcium Hardness…then 3 1/2 pounds of PH Down. So is that last instruction for PH Reducer???? Because I have that stuff…… and why add PH with the Alkaline, then reduce it with the PH reducer? Confused is all. Thanks ( new pool owner 3 months)
obviously I need to wait 4-6 hours between each add of the treatment. Just curious about the PH Down, written on my water sample readout sheet. Chlorine level is Normal, just the Alkaline and Calcium levels were a bit out or range….. plus I was told to add Algaecide, because my water had alot of black algae. Due to the fact I forgot to add chlorine tabs over the 4th of July . And No one ever told me to shock the pool after you have alot of people in there at once….like 15 people.

Is this miraculous water or a scam?

Ok, the promoters showed me this water they called cal water.

First they poured some cal water and normal tap water into two different glasses.

Then they add some tea leaves in both water. the tea in the normal tap water doesnt dissolve that well. But the tea in the cal water dissolved nicely.

Also, they added some drops of a yellow impurity substance and stirred both cups. The cal water turned back to normal after stirred, the tap water remained yellow. They said the water is able to detoxify.

also using a litmus test, the normal water was acidic but the cal water was slightly alkaline.

what do you think about this.

Can I add a Discus to my community tank?

Admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:51:17 +0000

I have a 20 gallon community tank with the following specs:

3 Serpae Tetra
3 Hatchetfish
1 albino cory

My Ph is a bit high (7.5), and my water leans toward alkaline.
It is also VERY soft.

I can alter the PH through water changes if needed.
I’m getting some varied answers, so I think I should add more detail.

Discus are VERY friendly, and I know this.

Also, I wasn’t going to get a larger breed, just one of the smaller ones that can grow to be about 6 inches.

By the fish rule of thumb, I still have 7 inches of fish left (20 gallons, 20 inches.)

I will prepare my tank and my water before getting it, but I just need to know if it will thrive and if it will get along with my current fish.

Sodium hydroxide added to water?

Admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:47:19 +0000

what happens when sodium hydroxide is added to water? i know that it dissociates into Na+ and OH- but what happens after that which makes the water so basic (alkaline)?

I have a water softener and I am tired of lugging heavy bags of salt around. can I just use white vinegar?

Admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 04:22:43 +0000

I figured the acid in the vinegar will help remove the alkaline build up ?

What else should I add to my community fish tank?

Admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:09:58 +0000

I have 2 female red wag platys and 5 neon tetra. I’d like just one or two other fish for some more variety. It would be nice if they were fish better suited to alkaline (basic) water. My 10 gallon fish tank tends to have a pH from 7.5 to 8.0.

I had a betta in the tank but he was too aggressive and eventually came down with ich and I moved him to a private room =).
