    pH increasing with lower alkalinity?

    Hey I was wondering if anyone has an answer to this, but whenever my alk fell to ~8.5 dKH I ended up having a higher pH (8.1-8.2) for a day or 2 before my apex corrected the alk to 9. Whereas when the tank ran around 9 dKH, pH was running around 7.7-7.9. From the reading I've done the opposite...

    I can peg my pH at 8.3 but it costs $2/ day. Is this worth it?

    I've tried a variety of CO2 scrubbing setups and had some success, but the cost of media is giving me pause. Short story is: right now my tank pH is pretty low. Basically 7.8 - 8.0 if I just left it as-is (no CO2 scrubber). It was much better in summer and fall so I think this is because the...

    Not getting much of a pH raise from CO2 scrubbers?

    I have two Bulk Reef Supply CO2 scrubbers hooked up in series to a Coralife 220G skimmer in a recirculating setup in my 180G FOWLR. Without them before the pH tended to be around 7.7 and I would use Seachem's Marine Buffer to raise it to the 8.2 range. I set up the CO2 scrubbers about two weeks...

    Different take on a CO2 scrubber for your tank.

    So I have been reading about CO2 scrubbers and since I use them in the course of my work, I thought I would make a few improvements on the current design and document them here. This time of year, people are indoors more and this can have an adverse affect on our water quality. An increase in...

    I have been thinking of getting a CO2 scrubber and I think I have found the one I want at a good price.
