Baking Soda In Diy Co2?

[nmcturner]

Does anybody else use baking soda in their DIY Co2 system? I have been reading a lot of articles and only one had a recipe using a "pinch" of baking soda. The B.S. is to make sure that the PH stays stable.
Any experience with this?

Take a look at the sticky thread about Nutrafin DIY CO2, it talks about adding this to the mix as a stabilizer. I believe its not necessary if you are using tap water and live in a hard water area but double check
