I have a 32G biocube and my numbers are all great but I can’t get my ph up and the tanks so dang small I can’t really add anything. Are there any chemicals I can use to get it up from the 7.55-7.6 it’s always at?

do not add chemicals trying to chase ph. If your livestock is using alkalinity you can dose alk. If your ph is lowe you can open a window to let in some fresh air.

My KH director keeps my Alk at 9 at all times. I have tried opening the whole house for the last week and don’t notice any change.

i would recommend a co2 scrubber, if you dont have a skimmer you can just use a airstone.

What skimmer do you have and where in the BioCube is it? I use a Tunze 9001DC and the scrubber will hook to the tube that goes to the silencer.
I had the 9001 and hated it. Every time the water comes up it floods the dang thing. I have the coraline skimmer in the first chamber.
