Well my 75g tank is doing well. No fish yet, waiting till after the holiday, only 6 dwarf hermits, Cheato in refugium, and a Zoa frag (THANKS tzhanks). I've had a small diatom bloom as well, but no big deal yet.

Parameters are stable, no swings, Nitrates are 5, Ammonia & Nitrite all 0. My SG has been a stable 1.025. My question is about Ph, mine is a constant 7.8. Is this a problem, if so why and what should I do to raise it?

If you turn your lights on the PH should rise. 7.8 is normal though, preferred is higher, but NSW tends to be 7.8

I've got the lights running 12 hrs on the DT, and alternating the Refugium the other 12.
