hi to all,
I have 3 30gals tanks, centralized with 1 50gals sump.
Im at 8th day cycling of my tanks.
I wonder why my pH is that as high at 8.8.
I know and i believe that someone may help me.
Now, i bought my white sand from a hardware,, and rinse them with fresh water twice on the 1st day before cycling.. I put the sands on the 1st and 3rd tank and live rocks too. Then a crushed corals on my sump.
On the 6thday, somebody adviced me to put 20ml of vinegar, then i test the pH again early this 8th day this morning, nothin happened.
So i asked my friend chemist friend on how to lower my pH, he replied me to use a Muriatic Acid. I dont know if it is safe, but i tried putting for upto 8 tbps of muriatic acid.
Im so amazed! my pH lowered to 8.2 in just a few minutes.
Is this safe? how can i maintain my pH to the ideal level?
Please advice me, thanks.
