what PH from carbonite

[StirCrazy]

hey forr you people using calcium sugar sand have you noticced if it will buffer the water to a specific PH? I guess you wouldent be able to tell in salt water but if some one has some lying around could yyou try to put some in a glass of fresh water and see what the ph is raised to. I used water from one of my fresh water tanks to test the lime I got and I expected a rise in PH as my fresh water tank is a PH of 6.2. it has been sitting for 3 hours and looks like the PH has stabled out at 7.8.
asuming that salt water PH is 8.2 this should be fine (I think [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] ) butt I want to seee the results with some sugar sand also.
