I know that the higher the PH, the lower the levels of dissolved Co2, which would help (in theory) to reduce algae growth.

I don't run my lights on my refugium on a reverse cycle, because of how my tank is set up. My apartment is one big room, and the 'fuge light is quite bright, thus making it hard to sleep. I only see a slight pH drop though from say the middle of the day with MH & actinics, to just the moonlights at say midnight. Day is 8.2, and night is about 7.9.
argileh,
Unfortunately lowering my salinity is not a viable option. For starters it would probably kill my tank, clams, inverts, etc.
Would you be able to show me, or point me to the literature that you read on a lower salinity?
