Pottsy,

Not only if it ain't broke don't fix it but what could you do about it anyway? Both my alkalinity and PH are higher than yours. I believe around 330 PPM and 8.3 PH. Fish are still swimming and feeding although the water has a lot of clay turbidity this year due to continuous high winds.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
