hey,
heres the stats of my tank
5 x2 x 2 all glass
3" oolite substrate
50 kilo live rock
sump 30 x 12 x 15
full r/o water
aquamedic turbofloater 1000 multi
calcium rector knop "C" up to 800ltr
2 grundfoss pumps + two mj1200 on surge controller (apprx 14x tank vol/hr)
2 x m/h 150w 10k's + 1 x actinic
additives - magnesium, sterling ph buff
(i'm getting to the point soon )
critters -
3 x serpant stars
12 ish red legs
1 x blue leg
12 ish turbo's
1 black and white clown
1 common clown
1 green chromis (had more but the stars ate them
1 humbug damsel
water cond -
nitrate -under 12.5mg/l
nitrite- nil
phosphate- 0.1
ammonia- nil
calcium - 360
dkh hardness - 9
spec grav 1.022/23
now, ph is stuck at 8/8.1 and although my alkalinity isn't high, i cant seem to increase my ph ?
my effluent ph is normally between 6.5 and 6.6, which i believe is correct
any suggestions
cheers
