K so 24g nano with about 19gal of actual water volume.
Parameters using Api test kit
Alk 12dkh
Ca 460
Mag 1425
Sg. 026
Phosphates between zero and 0.25(closer to zero)
Nitrate zero
PH 7.7 on phtestr 10 digital meter
I am running an upflow ATS(started it about a week ago)
Today is first day I took pH reading since I just got new batteries for the meter. My pH is 7.7 1 hr before lights on and 7.8 1hr before light off. The ATS is on reverse light cycle but there's hardly any algae so I doubt it's maintaining the pH at 7.7 when main lights are out. My guess is that the air bubbler for the ATS is mixing in CO2 from the room. Anyone want to chime in on if this logic is correct or know of other potential causes.
The main question is though, is a constant 7.7ph bad since it is on the low side for calcification. Tank is about 2.5 months old. Mixed reef
