So a while back i suffered from low ph. I swapped from 2 part to kalk. i instantly went from 7.9 to 8.2 during day, and at night it was around 8.1. i wanted to get it a little higher, so i bought a CO2 scrubber for my skimmer. But the problem is its working a little too good. During peak light it reaches all way up to 8.58 which seems a little too high. At night its around 8.4 which is fine. But im tempted to unplug CO2 scrubber or use vinegar. Its just gonna be a pain to reconnect all the old venturi system but i will if this is too high a ph. im also debating dialing back the kalk....
When does high ph become a problem? Is 8.5 or 8.6 too high?
