The commonts below are accurate. In addition, and as noted previously, keeping pH is consistent is the main concern.

Over my years of reefing I always had a lower pH due to how aggesively I ran my calcium reactor..........it never impacted my corals.

  • Introduce fresh air by running skimmer air intake to outside air
  • Reverse refugium lighting (refugium lights on when tank lights off)
  • Supplement Ca and Alk with Kalkwasser or Calcium Hydroxide (reacts with CO2 and maintains high pH)
