pH: normally ~8.49 - 8.55, now its ~8.35 - 8.45
(apex, re-calibration confirmed accurate. As accurate as apex can be anyway. Rabble Rabble)
Alk: normally ~9.2 - 9.5, now its ~9.6 - 9.9
(alkatronic, re-calibration confirmed accurate. Also confirmed with Hanna & Red Sea)
Neither is a big deal, this is just a curiosity. I noticed my pH falling and my alkalinity rising and i thought I'd read some posts about this in the past. The only change to the system is the local weather is getting HOT. Normally my chiller only turns on once a day and lately its been more like 5-6 times. I keep my temp within 77.8-78.8 so the changes aren't drastic but I'm really curious: Does Temperature even have much affect on ph and alk/cal consumption?
