I posted this message in a different thread but I figured I should expand out my question.
For four days in a row, I’ve had a put a splash of vinegar into my sump to get my pH below 8.45. My apex alarm keeps going off at 8.4. At 8.45, a little vinegar gets me down to 8.2 and then within 24 hours, I’m back to 8.45. I can’t keep doing this everyday.
I haven't sat pat to see if it would continue above 8.45 but I have to assume it would.
I have the typical display tank and refugium with a reverse lighting schedule. Chaeto and ogo in my refugium. Display tank lights at 10 hours and refugium at 8 hours. I've never had a refugium before so I've never experienced this.
I recently completed my cycle. I'm at the diatom stage. I only dose a little phyto daily for my new copepods.
Please share advice. Thank you.
