How to maintain Ph in my REEF?

[Uscanga2311]

Hi R2R family:

im going to mount a Nano tank (38G),
The tank will be all in one, so I will not have sump or refugie, how I will keep my Ph at night. since I had heard that the shelter light helped this parameter.

If you want the benefits of a refugium, you can retrofit a refugium in some nano tanks by using one of the filter compartments. A small pH swing at night is not necessarily bad, but you could also add a CO2 scrubber to generally increase the pH of your tank.
