Check whats in this pH up stuff. The stuff you want is sodium hydroxide (commonly sold as lye). If its any weird additives it wouldn't be recommended at all especially dyes.

I wouldn't. NaOH is what you need. 99%+ Calcium Hydroxide will also work (for an A/B only) and that can be purchased at any fish store as an additive for saltwater reef tanks.

I am certifiably insane, as such all posts written by me should be regarded as utter nonsense or attempts to get attention.

I don't know SWIM and personally don't trust him at all. If SWIM is posting, most likely I will not respond...as I said, I don't trust the guy. YOU I trust, but never SWIM.

as far as i'm aware pH up is mostly potassium hydroxide which is fine (some people even prefer it - especially for mesc extractions as it seems to reduce emulsions)
