My ph right now is 8.4 but lights are just about to go out. I'll check again in the morning right before lights on. I'm using a bit of an older API test kit though so not sure how accurate that is.

It is a scarlet skunk cleaner, had to google that.

I'm not going down the h2o2 route yet but will post if I do. If you dip your rocks in it won't it kill all the beneficial bacteria as well?
