Hi all
Recently I have had large ph swings (7.4-7.9) so I have now addressed this issue by.
I did all this from the 25th march
Turning off my calcium reactor
Adding a bigger kalkwasser mixer (Deltec) to my ATO
Taking an air source from my loft that is open and ventilated with external air
My values are as
Sal 1.026
Kh 11,5
Ca 450
Mag 1410
Phos 0
Nitrate 1
Water changes 20% every 10 days.
I have checked my ph now over the last 8 days and it's now stable at 7.9-8 I even stayed up for 24 hours testing on the hour every hour. I have also checked after each top off to check for swings
Will this level of ph be fine?
I have had a few sps bleach, and some that are still loosing some flesh .....it's been 12 days since the ph has stablised so I guess things might get a little worse before they get better?
My caliendrum and hystrix have suffered the most and are loosing flesh from the tips....I hope it's not too late.
So do I need to get into the 8.1-8.4 range? or is a stable ph more important? The LFS says 7.9 is ok
Thanks in advance
