I'm really working to try and keep my pH stable in my tank. I'm to the point that with a CO2 scrubber hooked to my skimmer, I can have it range between 7.85-8.0 total (media lasts about 1 week). I really struggle to get it any higher. I have my parameters stable at 8.6 dkH, 480 calcium, and 1440 mag and the tank is currently rock and fish only, soon to start adding corals. I have a lot of surface agitation as well in the setup with (4) MP40s going as it will be an Acro dominant setup (bare-bottom). Any other suggestions to get the pH a bit higher and maintain that? It's a 2019 built home with foam insulation and have no way to effectively get outside air to the tank, although that makes a small difference, not a major one.
I'm also planning to dose the DIY Tropic Marin All for Reef once I start needing a consistent dosing schedule after adding corals. Will this have any affect on pH, positive or negative? I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Thank you.
