Raising PH

[TK_KW]

How can I, or what can I use, to raise my PH without affecting stability. Want to raise to see if I can assist in my Dino battle. Current PH swing is 8 to 8.25 on average.

Open a window or run skimmer line to outside.

Your current pH is just fine.

High pH alkalinity additives when you need alkalinity, and reducing the CO2 level in the air around the tank or entering a skimmer are the suitable ways to raise pH.

Running the skimmerline outside on my old 110gal gave me the most rock solid 8+ PH I have ever seen.

Reason I asked, is ive read PH maintained around 8.5 - 8.6 can assist in riding hard to deal with dinos, which im currently battling. What are your thoughts on this?

I was able to battle Dino's by dripping kalk, not sure if it was related to No3 being at zero or what not? I also had turf algae and bryop, but now only bryop grows in the sump.

I had PH up between 8.3 and 8.6.

It is hard to get and keep pH high to treat for dinos, but it is an old treatment possibility. Not as effective as other newer treatments.
