So my tank has been around 8.55 for ph. This has been like this for a little while now. Should I be concerned? All other parameters are good. Cal 420 alk 9 mag 1350 sal .026 phos 0. Any ideas why it would be so high and what can I do to lower it. Cal and alk are added with a doser and I use brs 2 part. Thanks

What are you testing with? Maybe you should have water tested by another source and see what you get.

if all other parameters are in line and your livestock look healthy then don't stress on your ph number. my .02

When I take my Calcium reactor off line my PH jumps to 8.5+. Doesnt seem to harm anything though, so I wouldnt worry about it.
