Yes i would suspect that it is just a calibration issue. Also how heavy is your sps load? you may not even need a Calcium reactor. You may want to concider dosing Kakwasser or 2 Part. If you go the Calcium reactor route you will want to get a second PH probe for your Apex.

I Already have calc reactor and ph probe on it so its ready to go, just need to get a refill on cylinder and new solenoid. my sps load isnt really heavy i dont think, one big (8" round) birds nest and a hand full of frags, maybe 5 or so.

Technically you could hold off on the reactor for now if you want. Those corals wont suck that much Ca out of 180G of water. Your regular water changes should look after it no problem and you can always "tweek" the levels as necessary with 2 part.

If your PH is 8 you are OK I found that my fish did not like it when my PH went down to 7.8 or lower I do use kalk KH buffer with mag in it to get extra CA in the tank and to raise the PH to between 8.1 and 8.2. I do not use reef buffer as it has to many things in it from what I've heard. I don't trust a product that does not list he ingredients on the label.

Remember to raise or lower levels gradually (too big a sudden change is usually a bad thing in reefing). When messing with water chemistry, raising one element usually affects other elements, so don't go overboard with sudden changes.

Well I came home to about 8.07 PH and I dunno if its just me but the tank seemed more "active". I guess the fish were a bit unhappy with the low ph?
Also the aenonmes are now "thickening" up.
