So long time reader, short time poster. Usually search, post, read to find my answer and move on like everyone else. Red Sea 625xxl running for 4 months now. Aqua max C3 skimmer. Gyre wave maker, and jaebo 10k. No UV, no reactors, etc. want to just run a softy tank. Maxspect razor x 300watt at 60% blues, 25% red/whites 9am to 7pm with one hr ramp at start/stop.
Here’s my questions:
1) what is the easiest way to maintain proper PH? My PH fluctuates from 8.1 at noon, to 7.5 at 10pm. Right now, I’m dosing Seachem fusion 1&2, but PH still fluctuates beyond what I would think is high/low in a given day.
2) How do I lower NitRITES? I’ve added about five bottles of turbo start over the course of 3 months, and still my nitrites are running in the 1 to 2ppm range. NitrATES are 10ppm, and ammonia is around 0. Seems my cycle is getting stuck. Fish and inverts seem perfectly happy.
thanks for the help
