![]() well I am,
at night my ph will drop to as low as 7.68, it'll max out only to about 8.06 in the day.. I have a skimmer, MP10, MP40, and a GYRE 150 kicking up waves,, I have an air line plumbed into the MP10 to create fine bubles for 1 minute every 30 minutes. I have 2 window fans exhausting out and 1 window open. So 24/7 the volume of air in my suite is probably cycled out 10 times or more a day.. (guess)... going to try the CO2 scrubber solution. as demonstrated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSC1J0PRIs0 I have most of the hardware. Just sourcing out the media now. Hopefully will have it up and running in a few weeks. In the meantime has anyone tried this before..

![]() Interesting, I don't like my PH to fall below 8.0. usually runs 8.2 in the day. I do use a Aquavitro product called Balance occasionally when I see day readings below 8.0. This product is unique as it converts bicarbonate into carbonate. So it isn't just a PH buffer, which I don't use. Maybe see how it works for you?

![]() going to try other venues before I go chemical..
my current plan with the Co2 scrubber will be just like filter/skimmer maintenance... I already have enough things to dose ![]()

![]() been researching this balance stuff,,
seems pretty new,, where did you source it out ? and does it actually raise ph without mucking with alk ?? Quote:

![]() Yeah that's a really big swing. It's not that either number is bad but the swing isn't ideal. Are you actually seeing any issues stemming from this?
Before you bother with a co2 scrubber, do the co2 test described here when the pH is 7.68 and see if it really is co2 that is causing the problem. |

![]() Definitely a WTF! Assuming they are all calibrated correctly, you may be chasing a phantom number. J & L sells balance. Jeff recommended it to me as it works differently from a PH buffer.
