Probably not. Is your alk 7?

 

[toky916]

I have not tested alk this week yet since I've been working but will tommrow.
I thought keeping it steady at 8.05 or a little higher but it's looks crazy on the chart.

Are you carbon dosing?

 

[toky916]

No carbon doseing ive been thinking about it biopellets but not anytime soon.

My PH swings from 8.04-8.2 on the daily, but I run BP. Is the room where your tank well aerated?

 

[powderhound]

It's fine. You ph is only moving by .2 per day. How are you dosing alk? If you are, what time of day

 

[toky916]

I'm just doing teaspoon Kalk dosolved the siphons out milky top layer to my top off 5gal
That's about every 8days.

The room I would say is cooler than the rest of the house and very open.
