increasing ph with reacotor

Can I do it fast with bubble? or slowly? which is safest?

Reactor for ph? A little more detail on your tank setup, parameters and question will probably gate you some help.

Generally, proper gas exchange between the water and air is the best way to maintain proper PH. This can either mean more water movement, specifically at the surface and/or ensuring the air outside the tank isn't overly saturated with CO2 (which can often be the case inside homes, especially during the winter). But as Jimbo said, we'd really need some more information on your current issue and proposed solution.

Thank you all. I figured it out, it was the gas that got stuck inside the chamber and was able to release more through the effluent.
