Hi there,
I have a 400 gal Sundance Chelsea SWG. I'm pretty good with chemicals but am experiencing a very frequent need to add MA to lower PH. Between uses, the PH consistently creeps up to 7.8-8.0. Am I correct in thinking that I should lower my TA to around 60 to slow the PH increasing? I've always thought that TA was a PH buffer (meaning higher would prevent it moving), but read in the sticky that TA should be no lower than 50.
FC: 3.0
PH: 7.6 target, fighting it every other day with MA
TA: 80
CH: 165
CYA: ~30, probably a bit lower
Borates: ~40
