I run a calcium reactor on a heavily stocked SPS 93 gal reef.
All top off water is Kalkwasser
pH is low (even lower than I thought after calibrating my 3 apex Lab probes.) Was 7.6, now reads 7.48.
Alk is 9.3 solid, Ca 446 (Hanna checkers).
Is it possible my probes/config is off? or is the pH that low with the Alk levels that high? I have a CO2 scrubber on my skimmer.
I can add Alkalinity, Kalk, whatever. The pH rises but drops back down within an hour. How is this possible?
I've done a collective 55 gallon water change over the past few days.
Everything in the tank is looking great, I'm just concerned with the low pH readings.
