My tank is a 6mths old SPS/LPS mixed reef and I recently started to monitor the PH more in depth.. Last week it was at 8.0 (7.8 at night). I cleaned my house HRV filters and it climbed at 8.15 (yes I know it was way overdue lol).

I installed yesterday a CO2 scrubber and today my PH got up to 8.48. I only dose All-For-Reef which from what I read it shouldn't affect ph too much.

My PH monitor is an American Marine Pinpoint which I double checked the calibration with fresh solutions to rule that out.

Is 8.48 too high (I keep my alk between 7.8-8.0dkh). If so would it be more benificial to the coral growth to let it go back to 8.1?

Thanks for the help.
 
You’re fine, when my media is fresh in my co2 scrubber I’ll hit similar levels.
