I have had my tank setup for 15days just tested said 8.6 all other test are in the OK range. I was just wondering if I should be worried about my ph being so high and if it was OK to go ahead and do a 20% water change
Thanks <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

OK but will it drop on its own? I have about 40lbs of LS and about 16Lbs of live rock and about 40lbs of base rock sea clone skimmer

Ok,but If you have a decent amount of LS/LR it
will cycle. Try cocktail shrimp to help the cycle
thats what everyone else seems to be using.
Me I used damsels :)

if you are going to get more live rock, especially in large amounts, your tank will likely cycle again anyway, so just wait until you get the bulk of your rock before you start to worry about your water parameters. you should only worry about this whenever you get ready to add animals, or to watch the progress of your cycle. just my opinion though. ;) :p
