    lower your alk to like 8.5 and see if pH drops a tad. Otherwise don't fret it. Looks good!

    PH Question

    I am not sure, but u probably won't go much higher. Most have the opposite problem. It's low 8's to high 7's. IIt's more consistent and steady fluctuations. So if u go 8.2-8.6 all good over the night and day. Better that than alk fluctuating daily. For most oH is just what it is. If...

    PH Question

    I would just spread your dosing to over 24 hr period, not just lights out so it doesn't change during light hours. Or atleast go a little more into the start and ending hours with dosing. I get what your trying to accomplish by dosing at night, but a gradual pH swing of .4 is fine. I have...

    PH Question

    That looks fine. The drop during WC is partly from you breathing heavy adding CO2 to air and your salt mix. No worries. Just look into salt mix with closer ALK to you tank or tank closer to salt mix

    PH Question

    something isn't right? Are you just seeing brief spikes and troughs? Or is it a gradual incline and decline over hrs? You sound to be doing it right?

    PH Question

    Daily alk swings like you see of 7.0-8.5 is not good! you really should not have much of if any, you need to get set up some how to automate dosing if you are using that much alk each day. Bubble magus are great and cheap dosers. Mine has been rocking for 5 yrs now! I dose about 300ml of each...

    PH Question

    As for Alk, swings from WC's gonna happen especially if its a large percentage and your mix water and tank water are way off. An alk swing of .5 or less would be best I would either look for a salt that mixes up where you plan to keep tank ALK at: or keep your tank at what your salt mixes up at...

    Duncan Rescue Tips.....

    Did they come with this yellow dust or were they happy and healthy when you got them? If they came looking funky, dip them. If not just leave them and DO some WC's

    PH Question

    A swing like that is nothing to worry. It will drop at times. next party or get together watch your pH log. It will drop a decent amount depending on size of house and size of party. But for avg house and avg party you can easily see it drop about .3-.5. If concerned just open a window to...

    winter power outage

    Also youi could consider a battery back up or UPS with your heater and return pump or PH pluigged into it. You can size accordingly and have atleast 8-12 hrs run time with a small PH and heater

    winter power outage

    For a small tank & short terma simple inverter and battery will suffice. All you really need is temp control and some water movement. You could always get extra cable and just attach to car battery and start car every now and then as battery gets low. A small inverter/generator with like 2000w...
