Guys,

As a rule of thumb, does anybody know roughly what ratio of baking soda is required to raise the KH to around 10 per litre of water?

Thanks

To raise the KH without raising the GH, add sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), commonly known as baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon per 100 Liters raises the KH by about 1 dH. Sodium bicarbonate drives the pH towards an equilibrium value of 8.2.
