Just testing water this morning . System has been running 10 weeks. Temp 77.5 SG 1.025 Ammonia 0 Nitrate 10 Phosphate .10 PH 8.6. No corals yet just fish, snails and shrimp.
I was pleased to see the nitrates come down as they were stuck at 25. But now the PH has me somewhat concerned. It was running 7.9-8.0 for a while. I use a Hanna Checker. I did open a couple small vent windows in the basement where the sump is to help with the heat. Should I be concerned ? Was planning on about a 10% water change tomorrow but not sure that will make a difference.
