PH Swings

[Jon532]

According to my apex my PH is dropping to around 7.54 at 1am up to 8.04 by the end of the day. 7.54 seems really low, what can I do to help with this big of a drop during the night

PH isn't that significant. How's your alkalinity? In a marine tank, that's generally the one to track unless you have a tank in the basement with limited ventilation.

dont worry about ph. if your alk is around 8-9 you should be ok. just make sure you have enough aeration int he tank (protein skimmer, power-heads, etc ) and you should be fine

Skimmer going strong, 2 mo40s and good surface agitation... So aeration is good.

I have read a few threads on ph drop in the short time I have been here.

Curious if there is any correlation done on drop variance and amount of algae in dt or fuge...I would think tanks with less algae could exhibit larger variances....and vice versa.
