pH Question

[Cment]

Let me first start off by saying I don't typically try to "chase" pH numbers as long as they are stable. Well I went on fusion today and looked at a graph of my pH and noticed there is a .20-.30 swing per day. Typically at night it stays around 8 and during hours with my lights on its around 8.3. Should I be concerned? I havent noticed anything out to of the ordinary with my tank but this just struck me as odd. For what its worth, I do run a remote fuge opposite with the display. Thoughts?

No recommendations for you but I can't even hit 8.0 with a CO2 scrubber and open windows. From what I've read on here sounds like you'll be fine.

Those values and that swing are fine.
