Five months ago, I had a 55 gallon mixed reef tank with a canister filter and my pH was tested using a Hanna meter.
I read it was best to test in the evenings, at the end of the photo cycle, and my tests consistently read just above 8.2.
BUT….since I moved everything over to a RedSea 350 with a sump, 90~ gallon total volume, and an Apex pH probe, I’ve had a problem keeping it above 8.0, and my lows are surprisingly low.
I use EVS two-part with the DOS and add 2ml of Kalkwasser in R/O every morning.
Does anyone have any advice on raising pH?
And,
What should a healthy tank’s pH swing be over 24 hours?
(The most recent dip in pH may have been due to using Aiptasia F)
