I just saw a very very interesting Documentary called "Lethal Seas" on PBS's Nova

NOVA | Lethal Seas

Did anybody watch it?

It was very very very interesting and talked about the Ocean's PH getting Lower and Lower causing many problems.

And people say not to chase PH in the Home Aquarium.

There is some research out there. I asked about it here:

https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/re...farley/188104-ph-carbon-dioxide-question.html


I also asked on RC, there was some good discussion and few people thought higher alk helps. Of course it got nasty at some point and I put the word experts in quotes and made someone mad - made me giggle to see them break out the SAT prep flash cards after that, but I digress.

Recent AA research review looking at feeding to help offset low pH.
