How To Raise Alkalinty?

Just add some baking soda.

Temporary fixes like adding baking soda, just makes things worse, by causing pH swing. His tank is fine.

I agree... The alkalinity is 'low' because the water is soft, it's low in dissolved minerals. Not a problem for the fish he is trying to keep, and the pH is pretty much ideal as it is.

Leave it alone and do more water changes
