Raise PH

[rooroo]

Is there a good way to raise PH in you tank?

Increase circulation, water changes, remove glass cover from tank to allow better gas exchange.

Can I just leave the top door open? I have a wrasse that may jump out.... I just did a water change about 3 days ago and my PH is still low. I have lots of circulation(filter and skimmer) which circulate water well....

Depending on the water and salt you have you might need to use a ph buffer .

I agree. A good buffer, used with restraint, works very well and should not hurt anything. There is plenty of disagreement on this subject; however. This is just my opinion.

you can test your alk. if that is low you can add buffer. you can test if it is a circulation issue by taking some water out in a bowl, aerating it and testing it again.
