Low PH. Need Help

[cane]

I have been fighting low PH (7.95)for months. Everything else is great. Salinity 1.026, Mag 1470, Calcium 500, Alk 10.24, Phos 0, Temp 77.63. I run an Apex system. I have tried everything and am maxed out on Kalk. I also run a fresh air line outside from skimmer but still can not get to my desired PH of 8.2/3. Coral growth is not bad but some of the color is not the greatest I think and my Acans and scolys do not seem to be the happiest. I want to stop dosing Kalk and go to BRS 2 part but it looks like I will not find a good dosage because everything else is good. Please help.

Confirm your pH reading with a test kit like salifert or red sea. The probes don't always give accurate readings. FWIW I wouldn't chase pH. Alk is more important.

You can stop kalk whenever you want? Just make sure you maintain parameters with new 2 part. Use Bulk Reef Supply 2 part calculator for measurements.

Just used the salifert and it looked to be 8.15. I will stop using Kalk tomorrow test after a few days and the use the BRS 2 part. I purchased the pumps and mix months ago

I've always been happy with 7.8-8.5, so I wouldn't consider 7.95 to be detrimental.
