Low Ph

Of course I was being a little sarcastic. I've learnt so much from Canreef during the past 3 months. I have to admit that now I check the forums more than I check Facebook.

^ That's a good thing. Facebook is annoying.

LOL, I totally agree Myka

Use PH buffer to raise PH to 8.3
Also I don't think you need your light on during cycling your tank (if you do not have fish in there). More lighting will benefit the ugly brown algae growing on the glass and rocks.

Couldn't be more correct. pH although important should never be touched with actual PH chemicals. Use your salt and additives to buffer your pH to 8ish.
