I live in the tropics and have a open area where the tank is so I dont think CO2 build up is an issue as the doors are open all day and the room isnt sealed ...Ph was always in the range of 8.2-8.4... I hadnt tested it for a long time and randomly decided to check it. it was 7.8.. I tested my ato top off rodi water from the new rodi machine and it was a low 6.8. I put and air bubbler hose into the storage tank and now have top ato off water at ph 7.4-7.6 after 48hrs of aeration ...did a water change today and after mixing with the salt i tested the ph and it was 8.2-8.4.
I have ordered some co2 scrubbing media and will put that on the skimmer air inlet to try and get a bit of ph back...
any thoughts on how to get the ato top off water up to a decent ph level.. keep it bubbling away or try and add a buffer?
