	What is the best way to raise my PH in a FOWLER tank?
Puffed Fingerling Posts: 16 Kudos: 20 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Mar-2005	I don't have any corals or anemonies. I am using RO water. I tested my PH, and it's 7.8. The tank just finished cycling. Is the RO unit causing the low PH? Recommended product? Thanks

Keep using the RO water have you thought about dripping Kalkwasser? You could also use a alkalinity supplement like B-Ionic, or Superbuffer DKH.
