Hey folks, getting my pH probe setup today, and seeing some off readings. For context, this is a new tank, with 50 gallons of saltwater from my LFS and 40 gallons from my own brewing. I filled it on Sunday (day and a half ago). I calibrated my pH probe and things checked out. I stuck it in the tank (after a rinse) and it's showing a pH of 8.89, which feels high for how new this system is.
I grabbed my Red Sea test kit and ran a quick test of pH and it came back at a clear 8.2, which feels a lot closer to what I'd expect. Has anyone else seen this? I used Auto Calibration and all the indicators were green. (Water Temp is 79.1 btw)
Thanks in advance!
