In the C Journal by Anthony Calfo Vol1 Num1 there is an article by Anthony on pH called:
Aqautic "Myth" information
Anthony recommends to maintain a strong and stable pH on the higher end of the natural range: 8.3-8.6
He goes on to say "Aside from my personal observations in the Pacific - Tonga/Fiji, S. E. Asia and the Indian Ocean, that more of the creatures commonly kept in aquaria hail from areas of the reef with such "high" ph..."
I haven't ever seen any data on pH from any of these reefs to back this up but doubt he would make up something like that so I'm trying to research this. I'm not finding much in the way of pH at all on these reefs.
Does anyone have any data to support or oppose this? I'd very much appreciate any data/links that anyone has on pH in these areas.
Thanks,
Carlo
