Anyone has experience with CaribSea Ocean Direct live sand?

Changes in pH will not affect sand particles in the water column.

I thing those particle are CaCO3 it is easier to dissolve at lower pH.

you don't want them to dissolve, you want them to settle. Don't start adding chemicals to the tank. The PH of 8.2 is fine for a marine tank.

yes i agree also the lower ph could harm the bacteria in the live sand. have patience, you will learn fast in this hobby the rushing in to thinks is a recipe for disaster.

I agree, but my pH is 8.4 or higher

Stop messing with it, turn off the pumps and let the sediment settle from the water column and after that is done turn things on slowly. Then mess with the PH or something. If your not using a test meter or a salifert test kit your PH is probably good.
