my aquarium service guy tells me the problems I have with low ph is my 3 birds and 3 dogs are the cause of this.
can this be true
Wow- tagging along, but the only way I can see that happening would be high CO2 in the room, and pets don’t have enough biomass to really push that up- room ventilation is a much more important criteria. I have a CO2 meter and never saw any correlation between high CO2 and number of animals in a space (I work at a Zoo).my aquarium service guy tells me the problems I have with low ph is my 3 birds and 3 dogs are the cause of this.

Yes it is true and also how many people are in the house. I have a 1200 Square foot house 4 people 1 dog 1 cat. If I didn’t supply my skimmer with a fresh air line I can not get my ph above 8, when we go on vacation and no one is home it can hit 8.46. My ph is steady @ 8.28-8.34 almost every day with my 1/2” air supplying my skimmer.my aquarium service guy tells me the problems I have with low ph is my 3 birds and 3 dogs are the cause of this.

Important to note: if it ran 7.8 24x7 the same reef would be fine
nobody has to keep a nano reef outside or vent one from there to grow same sps and lps, large reef owners are walking on chemistry eggshells constantly for pH
we never assessed tank volume or mass test misreading
with smaller water volumes a breakpoint happens where testing only salinity and temp is required to grow the same corals. Wonder if this tank is at that point, no losses or stress was reported, whole thread is based on a test read
For people who do not run a refugium can running an airstone in the sump throughout the night give off the possible benefits of that? In theory I suppose it may would work.
My tank in my basement always has low pH.
I totally believe your service guy.
