I recently checked my ph and its like 8.5...isn't that a little bit high? Its the same in the morning and the same at night, which is good I guess because that means its not fluctuating. The Kh is like 11 or 12. I use the Kent Tech A & B to buffer. All the fish and corals are fine...should I be concerned?
Another problem is the temp. Every morning I wake up its like 86 or 88. When I turn the fans on during the day, when the lights are on, the temp goes down to about 82. What I don't understand is that fact that I have no glass tops on it and the weather here has been in the 50's like every night, but the tank water temp is still high. I know the 60g has very little surface area for evaporation since its only 12" wide, but what should I do leave the fans running 24/7? I also just added more powerheads to the tank recently. I have 2 maxi 900's and two 1200's this also doesn't include the mag3 that for the skimmer and the rio 800 for the UV light. Maybe too many pumps makes too much heat in too small a tank? I am puzzled. I think that my high temp could be the source of my high ph but i am also not sure about this...
help?
