Hello.
Over the lat six months, I have had a chronic problem with low pH of 7.8 and lower. (I finanly got a pH Probe and calibrate same every two weeks).
I add B-Ionic Alkalinity.
The pH rises to 8.2 after I add the soltion - usually 5ml or so, then drops to 7.7 or so the next day. I repeat the procedure every day and its getting tirning.....why the large swings? Does anyone know and offer advice?
I have the tank for over 5 years now with a 4 inch sand bed. Mg is at normal levels.
What is going on? Buffer?
Regards
Mario
