Will Too Much Coral Sand And Ocean Rock Raise My Ph Too High?

[monahan95]

I am in the process of setting up a 55 gallon cichlid tank and I have recently purchased around 25kg of ocean rock and 16kg of coral sand. can anyone tell me if this will raise my ph too high? I am planning to keep lake malawi cichlids so I will need a ph of around 7.8-8.6

No, it won't.
 
Ocean Rock and Coral Sand only buffer PH, they won't raise it.
 
You have nothing to worry about in terms of it raising your PH to high.
