Please help! Low Alk and pH help!

[BigTex1836]

My 140 gallon tank is running lower than I like on Alk and pH. Any suggestion would be most welcome! Alk is 7.68, Cal 455, Mg 1390, pH 7.87. I am dosing triton 4 part with 4 Neptune DOS pumps. Part 1 Mg is at 3mL per day. Part 2 Cal is at 2.5 mL per day. Part 3A and 3B Alk are each at 4 mL per day. I do small weekly water changes of about 15 gallons every week.

If it was my tank I wouldn’t worry about those numbers, PH is low but not something to chase, you could run a fresh air intake to your skimmer from outside or start dosing Kalkwasser to help bring that up.

Your Alk and Ph are still in tolerance, you can adjust your Alk dosing if you are after your target figure. There are online calculators to do that for you here is a link https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/alkalinity-dosing-calculator/?mc_cid=95356092df&mc_eid=1bbaef1ea5
as for your ph don’t worry to much depending on the time you took your reading you find ph can raise through out the day, you can increase water agitation at the surface with your wave pumps as this will help with getting more oxygen and helping with your ph.
