Need help with my PH and ALK.

[Ericsch333]

Tank perimeters:
90 Gallon with a 40b sump / 2 OR S026 50%white 70%blue 38par on the sump that runs at night
CAl 410-420
Alk 10-11
Mag 1440
Salinity 1026 this is after calibration
Salt is Salinty I do a 15 gallon water change every 2 weeks

I am dosing 2 part from BRS 70ml of CAL and 60ml of ALK the Apex doses the CAL during the day and the ALK at night. I lowered the ALK because i didn't want to go over 11. But my PH is my biggest problem I can't get it to stay above 8. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Could try aerating water, change alk additive or add plants or macro. Mine runs high but if you stay around 8 I wouldn't do a thing! The ph is just a number as long as everything is happy not a problem

I have a power head in my sump I will point it toward the top will that work (aerating )
