Actually I guess the article uses elevated PH as part of a solution, not a cause.

Holy wowzers! Your pH gets up to 8.8??? Try doing a search on Reef Central for "high pH"...there was a really good thread about it some time ago.

For the record, Phosphate at 0.3 is high.

Yeah I may have been part of that thread

I need to check the calibration of my probe but since it has not caused any problems, Im not too concerned right now.

I knew you meant phos. not PH but I was saying that some people have used PH as a solution to Dyno. I have undetectable phosphates but most likely only because I have so much macro algae in the tank.

I just calibrated my PH probe and it was way off. My PH is actually settling around 8.16 as of now but I think it may end up a bit lower...so my PH is actually on the low side, not high.
