Low Ph

[DannyW]

Been doing my test today and noticed my Ph is low around 7.8 to maybe 8 if I'm generous. My other parameters are OK except Phosphate which is high, but I'm adding phos remover to combat that.

So my question is how do I increase my Ph with out affecting my other reading.

They are

Magnesium 1500
Calcium 480
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0

Thank you Danny

Hi Danny

How are you maintaining Calcium is it via a reactor? If it is, can say how much flow thou it and tank gallonage?

Your magnesium levels are fine but you also need to consider the KH values in your tank, if these are low then you need to bring them up. If you are using a calcium reactor you may need to run a second chamber if it is depressing your tank pH.
After that you should look at the amount of organics that are decomposing in your tank, this process produces acids which can bring your pH down.
