Hello all,
I’ve struggled with getting PH up using LFS purchased real ocean water. It’s typically at 7.8 PH.
heres my current parameters:
77.9F
PH. 7.8.
KH. 10.5
Cal. 400
Nitrate. 5.0
Phos. 0.25
Sal. 1.0255
I need to do a water change of 10-15% anyway and planned on doing it with the same store bought ocean water. Mainly because it’s time to and in theory will help nitrates and KH come down a bit. BUT…. Is there anything I can do to get the KH to come down AND get the PH to come up? Can’t seem to ever get the KH down despite added water being at 7.5.
I’m a newb so any help is much appreciated. Tank is 32 biocube 6 months old. Ugly stage is over. Tank critters, clown and BT anemone. Green frog swawn. Diamond hobby, CUC. Cleaner shrimp. Small puffer and tang. Tiny recordia.
