I’ve been using all for reef for about a year now and have had fantastic results. The only down side for me is there isn’t really a ph impact, twinned with carbon dosing and a lack of insulation I end up with low ph (7.8).

Before i go down the route of refilling a hole to the outside or getting a co2 filter, I wanted to check there wasn’t a tweak for my all for reef if I wanted higher ph?

I also use all for reef and was stuck between 7.7-8.0 until I started CO2 scrubbing. I’m now up to 8.2-8.5 range and haven’t looked back.

Starting to feel best option as you are using from a year now and got fantastic results.
The issue being ph once you up carbon dosing, not coral growth or params.

I switched from a fuge back to carbon dosing which is why the lack of ph impact is more apparent. My hope had been I could add something with my all for reef to help.

I'd say maybe do a little bit of kalkwasser with the all for reef but the co2 scrubber sounds like less work since you already have that set up
