Hi- new member, been reading the historical blog entries and have appreciated everyone’s responses. I have set up a new tank after taking a 15 year break ( paused with back to back kids). Had 120gal with metal halides, protein skimmer, sump, the works. Now doing 29 nano.
Tank it set up with reef rock, sand.... cycled until good parameters. All was good for 6 mo. Then I purchased an RO unit knowing that was important and I can’t seem to keep my PH and KH in line. My ph has dropped to 8.0 and my KH is 12??? Any ideas to balance these. Afraid to add any Kalkwasser as the KH is already too high.
Going to add more surface tension to help up ph. Do a water change. I do a 5 gal water change every 4-5 days and IV drip it in to not disrupt the balance. I have a lid on the tank sinceI have to cats. Thank you in advance for your help.
