acidjc Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) what have you added in before this?? the best way to lower PH is wc.. if you got no coral or live stock.. you can do a 50% wc once per week. the PH should go back normal after the 3 or 4 week if got live stock the do 30% wc.. twice per week like Monday and Friday.. the PH will also slowly go back normal. dun add anymore chemical inside.. this will do more harm then good Edited September 28, 2015 by acidjc Quote Current Tank(s) : 2 x 1 x 1 mixed reef tank What in my mind now (future tanks) 4 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile coral tank 3 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile reef tank Decommissioned Tanks : 2 ft seahorse tank back in the 1990s' 2.5 ft cube mixed reef tank in 2007 to 2008 JBJ 28g Tank .

I do have live stock and corals. But big tank like 5 ft. It will be a lot of water change Will give it a try. Any other solutions?

Remember patience. . Dun try adding or putting new thing to reduce ph faster. Meanwhile try to find out what cause the pH to go up so high. Faulty tester? Or any other stuff you newly put in that cause the rise in ph.. finding the root cause will resolve your problem and prevent it from coming back Sent from my SM-A800F using Tapatalk Quote Current Tank(s) : 2 x 1 x 1 mixed reef tank What in my mind now (future tanks) 4 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile coral tank 3 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile reef tank Decommissioned Tanks : 2 ft seahorse tank back in the 1990s' 2.5 ft cube mixed reef tank in 2007 to 2008 JBJ 28g Tank .

SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted September 28, 2015 SRC Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2015 run C02 into the system will help lower the PH as well. I was curious as well how the PH can jump so high, maybe you can try to double check the PH measurement again and see if it is a faulty test kit or..

Actually done some crazy solutions already but to no avail. I run co2 and add vodka. Still the same Actually no DI water to check my tester. May be bring to LS to check if faulty. Thanks for both reply. Will update once tester checked. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
