High PH from rodi?

[Notsolostfish]

I filled my mixing station with rodi water 0 tds. And i mineralized my water with 2kh and 4gh. And my PH on my marine PH monitor thats its calibrated precisely showing my ph is 10.2. Im super worried to do a water change now. Should j let the water sit first for 24 hours? And PH will go down?

Ignore it.

RODI water has no buffering and the pH can measure any value.

It will normalize with your tank water immediately on addition.

Whay are you adding anything to RODI water? Normally ]uou should only be using it for topup or to mix new salt water.

I was testing something to see my PH haha. So even after i added 4gh and 2kh? The PH will be unreadable? I thought mixing the water makes the water no lo ger pure?

The effect on pH will depend on exactly what you are adding. Sodium Carbonate will increase pH so I guess I don't understand why you are adding anything
