I have been struggling to keep my pH up in my tank especially at night. It gets as low as 7.39 at night and 7.8 during the day. I triple checked that the pH reading is correct with 2 different probes and 2 different handheld pH meter. I have tried many different ways to increase the ph with no success. I am currently running full zeovit system with a calcium reactor. But to help with low pH I turn my calcium reactor off at night and dose kalkwasser at night using a doser. (20 ml every hour for 12 hours starting at 11 pm). I don’t see any change other than my alkalinity going up. I am also running a recirculating co2 scrubber. But the co2 scrubber never had any improvement in my tank. I tried to reverse cycle my sump (AI PRIME with a few frags). Is there anything else I can do to increase the pH? I like to keep my alkalinity around 7.8. Usually I don’t try to chase numbers but for some reason my pH is absurdly low. I do not know how long the pH problem has been going on because I only started monitoring my tank pH when I picked an apex a few weeks ago. I am worried that low pH is the reason I lost a few frags and why I have little to no growth for the past year. Thank you for your help in advance!
