Question on my water lvl's

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I didn't see pH on the list.

What is it now?

 

[Mstanker]

still the same thing. Light brown. I just didnt write it down. Should i go buy some Ph +.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I don't know what light brown means in terms of pH, and there is NOTHING you can or should add that will boost pH without adding to alkalinity.

I also would not overly rely on a pH kit, since they are often inaccurate.

 

[Mstanker]

humm so how do you make sure that yours ph is correct for your corals? I just want to get everything correct so that my corals will have the best chance at growing. All of my other paras are in line just not ph with using API test kit.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

A pH meter that can be both calibrated and checked for accuracy is a much better way.

Most people will have acceptable (if not optimal) pH with nothing more than appropriate alkalinity maintenance.
