That would depend on how fast your tank eats up any of these parameters. As it sits the answer is no .
Right now I have gsp, I leather gabbage, leather toad stool, purple sponges two orange plates and a green fungi plate, 3 other corals sps not sure what the are. And five btas. On split and there not looking so good. And a bubble coral. Which also looks bad. I'm hoping they'll bounce back from the low pH issues soon.
The Hanna alk checker is great , I personally like the salivert mag tester which is pretty straight forward and even better if you buy a auto stirring or shaking device . The Hanna cal tester I personally don’t care for as for me it’s a pain with too many steps . I also recommend the Hanna ultra low phosphate checker . But you can look up the reviews for all these tests on YouTube or brs tv . Good luck !!!
i;m monitoring my ph right now at work. its slowly rising. yesterday it rose quickley but today its looks to be topping out I think at 8.0 or a litlle bit above. question. thre is no wind/ breeze at all today. it is just dead. having a window open in that room an inch top should that effect my ph to go higher even if theres no breeze?
Constant fresh air can raise it to a point but also make sure what your checking it with , is accurate. My ph is around 8.3 and fluctuates especially at night when the lights wind down . If I still had my refugium still hooked up it would dip as much . but I really don’t worry so much about ph . It’s not a issue for me . I think I have it on the Apex monitor but if my other parameters are good my ph is fine . The biggest things to watch is of course salinity, alk , mag , cal, phosphate, nitrate , and temp and not necessarily in that order . Because I know my tank, alk and phosphates are my biggest concerns . I test those two weekly . I test salinity weekly as well before water changes and the rest I test monthly .
