Hi I am a Newbie in Adelaide. I have just recently set up a 2nd hand aquaponic system. I justed added a teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate as I had a 1kh carbonate reading. How periodically should I add potasium carbonate and how much of it to increase the Kh level. I have an IBC tank and grow bed with no sump. Any advice is gratefully accepted. thanks

Welcome to another newbie. I'm also interested in the response to Pot Bicarb. I'm dosing mine by trial and error, trying to balance various limes/K Bicarb to get hardness up a tad. My hardness sits around 2-3 using the API dKH kit since setting up about 6 weeks ago, pH is stable at around 7.4.
