Dewey said:Ok i ran my reference it says im at 8.3 .
And heres the problem I tested the water again it says im at 8.0 .
All other test come out ok. I cant figure this one out.
Thanks Dewey
If the results of the alk test are accurate, I would not suggest using anything to adjust your ph chemically. The low ph (if accurate) will be environmental not chemical. You need to look at your system for possible causes. Insufficient surface aggitation, covered tank and as already suggested too much ambient CO2. Low O2 will be your problem moreso than anything else.Dewey said:i did a alk. test If i did it correct. (Seacem) It took nine drops. Which i think = 4.5meg/l.
Ok what the best why i can try and raise ph.
SeaChem said:3. Each drop is equal to 0.5 mEq/l. The number of drops to get to yellow divided by 2 is the total alkalinity.
