Hi all,
I am a little confused... Hoping someone can shed some light on this topic for me. I apologize in advance if this doesn't make total sense :)
I know that PH changes throughout the day. But why does it fluctuate? What determine how much it will change? What determines the rate at which it changes?
Part 2.. Lets say over a week the Ph drops from say 8.4 - 7.8... so you add in a buffer to bring it back up... How long does this keep it at the new higher Ph? Is it the same as above that will then change the PH down again? The bottle of my buffer says apply daily.... just getting why.... What is the max ph change that is ok ad any one time?
As for Alk.... same kind of questions...if it is low and you do an additive to bring it up...I get you have to keep adding additives to keep it up.. but is that purely because of top ups? what other things bring it down?
Thanks
