my 50gal tank has been setup for the last 4 years and ive just got a
pinpoint Ph monitor
just now and for all this time ive never really tested the Ph in
it.....well it has been at 7.65
for the last week regardless if its day or night, and i know its ment to be
at 8.2. i dose kalk and alk most days (these are the only things i test for)
my question is how do i get the ph up to that level and kept it there
stabley???????
for all this time ive never had a problem and all the corals seams very
happy (this includes soft and hard corals)

thanks
greg

First calibrate your monitor, second what is your alk level in the
aquarium, if it is low your ph could be low. Do you have a well sealed
house, if so you could have high co2 levels.

Here is a good article on low PH levels
