Long story short.. 2 month old system cycled. A few frags, no fish yet. Michigan, so house is closed up. Alk is 8.9, salt 1026. Both a little higher then I'd like, but trying to get the ph up. Watching my lab grade probe, it was running 7.8, ..never has reached 8.0. Yesterday I plumbed a 3/8 inside diameter hose (9 feet length) to the outside for fresh air to the skimmer inlet not choked down. So the last 2 days to current it's still been 7.72 to 7.78. I'm sure it will take a few days to get going. The only other thing I can do it build a co2 scrubber, but the media is more then I want to spend monthly.
So is 7.7 something to worry about? I know adding more corals will raise it, but I'm wanting to add a few hundred worth of stuff this week.
