A lot of you are familiar with my post last week about my ph. If you are not then in short it would not stay above 7.9. I could add a entire container of seachem 8.3 buffer only to test the next day and it returned to 7.9 I spoke to mike at liverocks.com about this and he said when I put this last order of rock in my tank that after a few weeks the organisms that bore in the rock will become active and my ph will stabilize were I want it. I looked at my ph probe today and my ph has dropped to 7.85. How? I am going to wait a "few weeks" before I take any action but how can adding 350 lbs of live calcium carbonate rock drop my ph?
