High PH

[franklin]

Please advise how to lower PH currently I have reading of 9.05

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

Thanks bro.

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?

5ft. Then u just wc 10% twice per week. It will take longer time to reduce the pH. Eventually it will drop you 8.x. .just need patience. 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

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.
