Hey guys,

This current build is a 6 ft 150 gallon and I am struggling to get my PH up. It is currently at 7.6, but it has been as low as 7.44 a couple of weeks ago it would go up to 7.89 or so. I live in Florida so things are closed up. I have already ran the skimmer line outside, pointed power heads towards the top of water put a air stone in the sump. Running my lights in sump reverse schedule with cheato. Put kaulk in ato water, recalibrated my apex pH probe not sure what else to do.

Tank has only been running 6 months couple other strange things is my mag is low at 1170 I dosed today to try to get it to 1350, but with mag low cal is higher then I would like at 470 and all at 10 also high. Trying to get down to 420 and 8 dkh. I just find it Weird that mag is low and cal and dkh are high. I have also seen little to none coralline growth.

Losing some sps and wells deflating due to the fluctuations in perimeters. I am just looking to for any advise or suggestions as anyone else had a similar issue?

Thanks
