I am currently trying to get my ph to stabilize at 8.3 and I have been all over the place from 7.7 to 8.6. My nitrate is still high at about 20ppm but I am just now closing on my 2nd cycle but every thing else is fine. I have done about a total of 4 water changes of about 25-35% so far. I have a 10lb bag of crushed coral I have had for awhile that I still have not used and thought why not add it to my sump system where I have alot of room.
I currently have my 10 gallon sump with all of my filtering like renew and Pura filtration pad. I also have a canister packed with carbon and chemi pure but still cant get the ph just right. Do you think that the crushed coral would benefit my buffering ability to hold the ph of 8.3 that I am tying to archive?
