PH is a solid 8.4 W/aquarium pharmaceutical test kit Nitrates O,Carbonate harness a little high also 215 ppm.

Does anyone have this problem, I read about raising and maintianing ph but can't find anything about lowering PH in my reef tank any suggestions?

Not a bad Start.

That should not be a problem, you could lightly scrub them before putting them in your tank...Discard old water.

Keep nitrates below 10 ppm then you'll be o.k.

I'm installing a new proiein skimmer on my 55 gal. tank but not getting "sticky" bubbles. PH is 8.4 and salinity is @1.26? I havent checked carbonate hardness is this a factor?
