i just finished cycling my 28g nano. i have 1/2 of live sand,40lbs of live rock, protein skimmer and cheato refuge running. temp at 77. my water i use from ro.di is very soft. when i mix the salt the ph stabilizes at 8.3. kh is 10. ammo-0 ,nitrite-0,nitrate-5, calcium-400, phos-.2.
what ive noticed is even when i use a ph/kh buffer it will drop from 8.3 to 8.0 overnight. someone mentioned that if magnisum is low it can cause ph fluctuation, i dont know if this is true.
i would really like to find a way to keep the ph steady above 8.1.
i could add a little bit of crushed coral.
