Hey everyone...
Question on rising PH in my tank. Tank is almost 1 yr old and recently had a cynobacteria (red slime) outbreak, which killed corals (hammers and torches), but zoas and shrooms did ok. I treated with red slime after about a month of trying to figure it out on my own.
Since then and some tuning of my skimmer my PH has been fluctuating between 8.2-8.45 over the past 3-4 days. Normally, my PH has been between 7.9-8.2 throughout the day. Any suggestions on how to normalize or bring it back down? Could it be due to the tuning of my skimmer (NYOS 120) I feel like it keeps rising then dropping but steadily increasing throughout the day.
Parameters:
Red Sea 200XL
Nitrates 8.5
Phosphates .02
Alk 9.0
Salinity 1.025
**all testing is w/ Hanna checkers and I have not measured Mag or Calcium in a while***
