Your pH is fine, but i would suggest doing more frequent water changes before you start dosing stuff

I've had people had say the PH was to low? but I'll just leave that be then.. My nitrates went up when I removed my algae scrubber, other wise Nitrates had been at 0.. trying to cut back on all the lights I have running:shocking:our electric bill is crazy $$$ Maybe I shoud hook it back up then, HMMM what do you all think

The pH is fine and the algae scrubber will help with the nitrates.

I just hooked it back up so now they will start to go down again.. was hoping to get by with out it,soooo many lights == $$$...

If you haven't already done so, replace the bulb with a new lower wattage cfl(squiggly) bulb...i believe it only uses 13 watts. That should help with the bill, especially if you change all the bulbs in the house to those bulbs.
