Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi everyone. I'm hoping somebody can help me with my pH problems. The pH in my FOWLR tank has been floating between 7.83 and 8.13 over the last 7 days with my daily 6pm readings are roughly 8.00 +/-0.04. I want to add some corals to the tank but with the ph fluctuating so much I don't think it's a wise idea just yet. Below is the 7day log from my controller with a bit of a just today as I added some buffer but remember the range of this graph is only 7.83-8.13.
I did full water tests yesterday and the results were:
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 0ppm
pH - 7.90
Phosphate - 0ppm
KH - 286.4ppm
Calcium - 440ppm
Temperature - 28.6C
Salinity - 1.023SG
I am also dosing Kalkwasser at a rate of 2 tsp/gal of water in my ATO.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I REALLY want to get some corals. Oh and I have recently had my pH probe professionally calibrated so I know it's not the probe which is the problem.
