I have a 48 gallon oceanic FO tank. Tank is doing fine...Nitrite = 0, Ammonia = 0, Nitrate = 20-30.
I do a partial water change (10-15 gallons) every 10 days approximatey. The fish are doing GREAT! BUT, my PH is reading about 8.8. Even the new water (DI at that) reads very high...8.7 plus! Is my meter off? I even use a colored chart and it STILL shows that the PH MAY be high.
Is there a GOOD TEST TO MEASURE PH? I'm not sure what to do. DAMN ... I even have 2 skimmers going! One in the sump and the other in the back of the tank (very little stuff coming into either though). As I said the fish are doing great!! ....but I am concerned about the PH.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
