how to lower pH?
How are some ways to lower pH, and what should I aim for? I am currently running right around 8.4 I do use a kalk reactor, about 2 gallons of top off a day. around 120gal total volume. I plan on getting a calcium reactor, but now for a few months.

I would not be too concerned about 8.4 (how are you measuring it?). If you start going above 8.5, its time to start thinking about it. You can add club soda or vinegar in a pinch to bring down PH.

I just got a pH probe, so this is the first time I am seeing it. I use to test weekly with a handheld, and it was 8.3-8.4

I'd be happy with 8.4. No worries
