low pH ? - chilax they say, don't worry they say..

Success,, Previous to the installation of the CO2 scrubber,, the pH would have low swings down to 7.6 and peak out at around 8.1....

Now with the scrubber it'll drop to 7.82 at night and quickly climb to 8.2 in the day..

I have stopped adding Seachem Balance to see how the scrubber does on it own, I'm guessing it'll perform the same,, just may peak a little later..

I had a huge pH issue years ago, I solved it by getting rid of my pH probe. No issues since. Unless there is a visible problem with the tank, I wouldn't worry about it. Last time I measured pH was 2004.

I get the impression Mr. Kengeroo is on a mission, he is taking pH measurements to 2 decimal points.... to each his own I reckon. I'm somewhat glad I haven't spent 1k on hobby measuring/monitoring equipment. I spend my hard earned $$$ on costly powerheads instead. More bang for my buck & less hassle chasing numbers. Admittedly, I don't culture any real high end sps, but again, less to worry about that way.

These ph probes are never accurate
