Weather can impact reef tanks in a variety of ways.
Today, we explore how storms might impact it in one particular way.
Suppose that you live in a very sturdy home (no damage from any hurricane) with a very good ventilation system (inside air has normal level of CO2) and a backup power supply (you never lose power).
You are all set, you assume, to ride out the cat 5 hurricane rolling your way.
You have previously noted that your tank pH at 11 AM averages about 8.10, every day.
The hurricane slowly arrives over a period of hours, and you are remarkably in the eye of the hurricane for about an hour from 10 to 11 AM.
What pH is most likely in your tank at 11 AM? Why?
A. pH 8.30
B. 8.12
C. 8.10
D. 8.08
E. 7.90
Good luck!
