What/if anything am I missing that could be causing low pH? I know chasing numbers isn’t the best but I would like the low range of my pH fall higher for better coral growth.
Water Chemistry:
pH: 7.8-8.0
Alk: 8.5
Calc: 440
Mag: 1400
Salinity: 1.026
Nitrate: 10.8
Phosphate: 0.06
Tank Age: 1y 1 month
Tank Size: 375g
Skimmer: Reef Octopus SRO 5000-ext
Power Heads: 4x Gyre (2x280s on back wall, 2x 350s on sides) very heavy surface agitation
CO2 inside house 450 during the day 800 at night
Currently running Kalk
CO2 Scrubber
Macro Algae (cheato reverse light cycle)
Stop running CarX
Read the other posts and couldn't find what might be causing it.
Only other cause I might relate is dosing NoPox at 30ml a day possibly causing high bacteria population and depletion of o2?
Using NoPox to slowly lower Nitrate. Nitrate is lowering about 1-2 a day. Will be lowering dose until levels out around 2
