Hello my SPS dominant tank is running for 9 months .
I calibrated ph sensor of my GHL profilux 4 1 month ago , and since then it show readings of 8.75 ph at day and 8.50 at night .
before the calibration, it showed 8.4 at day and 8.2 at night.
Today I calibrated it again with 7.0 and 10.0 Pinpoint ph calibration solutions, and still It showing high readings.
corals and fish are o.k , but I'm worried that it's not good thing for them .
Only change that I done was to cut off my refugium, and start dosing 50% recommend dosage of Bacto Balance.
Parameters:
Alk 7.8
Cal 430
Mag 1310
no3 at 4
po4 at 0.02
Salinity 1026
tepmeture at 24.5
What can cause thus readings, and how can I fix it ?
