I have a 46 gallon reef looking beautiful. Only question is when I make up new saltwater I was told to put an air pump along with my maxi-jet and hopefully get the ph from mixing at 8 to mixing at 8.2. I use Red Sea coral pro. My ph fluctuates from 7.85 before lighting to 8.0 after 12 hours of lighting. I have a Sunpod with 2 150 watt MH Phoenix 14,000K DE bulbs. I am thing of switching to Seachem Reef salt. They claim that their salt is the only salt that has buffers added that are not bicarbonate. What do others have to say?
