Hi, I run a mixed reef lagoon tank. I have been running Kalkwasser coming up to a year now. The Kalk stirrer is turned on when the pH drops below 8.3. I am fastidious with my checking/calibration of the Neptune Apex pH probe, so I am fairly happy that I am getting correct value to two sig figs.
However the thing that concerns me is the level that my pH climbs to during the day. As you can see from the example below I am up to 8.7 sometimes, most of the time it peaks around 8.6. The stirrer is off so this increase of pH must be due to photosynthesis?
Should I be concerned with these levels, I dont see any detrimental effects on the animals in the tank?
