ph question

[salefen]

If your PH falls in the morning and stresses out your fish, how do you make your ph more stable in the tank?

Salefen,
Drip kalkwasser during the dark hours to stabilize your pH. pH rises w/the photosynthetic activity of your corals, and falls off at night while there is no such activity. The elevated pH of the kalkwasser will tend to boost it during those hours to make up for the drop off. Good way to maintain Ca++ as well as alkalinity.

regards,

The greatest stabilizing factor in ph is to have alk and ca where they belong.

Your pH would have to fall like a roller coaster to stress your fish much. How much of a drop are we talking?
