Issues with PH, just switched to Triton Method

ShawnSaucier · Mar 31, 2018

first off, thanks for reading. I just recently swapped to the Full Triton Method. Core 7 went online two weeks ago. Things seem somewhat fine, other than 1 ORA Red Goni has retracted over the last few days. Other Gino’s look great. I did have to drop my dosage down a smidge, Alk was at 9 DKH and Ca/MG were both testing a little higher than I wanted.
But my main issue has been my PH which has a swing 7.9 in the early AM to 8.1 through the day. Skimmer runs 24/7 and there is a lot of water turbulence throughout the system. I live in a rental at the moment, so drilling for an outside airline is not really an option. And for what ever reason I’m not 100% sold on scrubbers. Maybe because of the extra maintenance and how quickly it seems that the media expires.
Any advice would be helpful...

That pH range is fine.

Triton uses a lower pH alk supplement, so if you really want to raise pH, switching to a higher pH alkalinity supplement would be one way.
