Kent marine buffer PH and Alk issues

[robbyville]

Well no signs of stress with the critters. PH is tested with a Salifert kit and I confirmed using an old master kit.

I have a built in sump that agitates the water a fair bit. Randy at RC mentioned that it might also be due to high C02 in the room. Especially since we do not open many windows with the cold. I might try and run an air line from outside to the air intake of my skimmer, might not do anything but seems like a fun project!

I understand that my Alk is not much to be concerned about, but I'm more worried that if I use the buffer I purchased that the Alk will go even higher by me trying to remedy the PH problem.

Other thoughts would always be appreciated, otherwise I'll let people know how the airline thing works out!

Best,

Rob
