Low PH?

[endlessrealm]

My new 200G saltwater tank have a ph of 7.91. And with going through the cycle i have 7.8. Im using a bew freshly calibrated apex PH probe. My basement have no windows, or air to come through beside a dehumidifier. Im worried about that low of PH later on, when i get fish corals etc..

pH can and does fluctuate, and 7.91 is a very normal range - I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Everyone's pH seems to be off this summer (probably due in no small part to all the smoke from forest fires, unusual heat, etc.) Mine normally ranges from 8.15-8.2 during the peak to around 7.9 at night, but lately I'm off about 0.10-0.15 from the peak.

Yeah, but my basement have no windows at all, so i always struggled with Ph

Check your alk. Raising alk will raise pH.
