I installed a pinpoint Ph monitor, so I can see my ph whenever I walk by the aquarium. It start out at 8.15 and I measured my salt mix which was about 8.12, so I figure I was doing alright.
However, I was startled to find that my Ph jumps around a bit. When my filter sock was nasty, my Ph dropped to 7.90. However, I quickly changed that and my Ph rose to 7.99 and stayed their for a few days.
I've dosing with kalk wasser for top off, but my ph stubbornly refused to move for several days. Now after 3 day, it pops up to 8.20.
My anemones look better at 8.20, but I'm curious what is going on.
My alk is at normal (3.0 meg/l), so shouldn't this work as a buffer.
Wow, two years into this and I still feel like a newby.
