I am currently having issues with my PH. I have a 180g 24x24x72. My Ph has dropped considerably. I have added PH buffer and it hasnt helped. I have 200+ lbs LR, 130 Lbs sand. A 30 gallon sump and a large reef Octopus skimmer. Help

you need to have some type of "system" to add calcium, Alk, and mag....

examples:
2 part dosing system adding Calcium & another pump adding Alk...add mag as needed.
Calcium Reactor
Kalkwasser

It dropped to 6.02 from 8.3. I use reef fusion 1 and 2 for my calcium and alkalinity. My salt is Salinity. Never had issues like this until i started useing stunner led actinic lights. I am not blaming them but thats about the time frame this started dropping.
