Ph 8.4

My PH has been running at a solid 8.4 for the past week. I've not tried to get it down yet but I was wondering if it's a problem. My make up water is from my Kalk reactor and I am running a calcium reactor 24x7 not turned on by controller. My reading are from my Milwaukee controller and I've calibrated it so it should be right on. My test also show 8.4 even long after lights out.

If your corals are happy don't mess with it !! :D
8.4 sounds a lot better than the 7.8 I was dealing with a while back....

Well I just checked it before the lights go on for the day and it was at 8.4. Everything looks fine so I am just going to leave it alone.
