Does this really work to help lower the PH?

Add carbon dioxide in the form of bottled soda water to try lowering the pH level in your tank. Add 6 mL of soda water per gallon of water in your aquarium to reduce pH by approximately 0.3 units. Be sure to use an unflavored soda water that is free of phosphates. This is an instant fix --- unlike adding additional aeration, which will take time.


Add 1 mL of distilled white vinegar per gallon of tank water; it will instantly reduce the pH by 0.3 units.
