Nathan, as Robert mentioned these are inline parameters with ZEOvit. I run my KH at 8, which is the uppermost value with ZEOvit. Bob

What about PH, is this not important using the Zeovit method. Just curious, never see PH mentioned.

Hi Fonda, pH in my reef travels a little ranging from 7.8 to 8.05. In my experience, pH swings, if not too great[<.7]are not a concern for our corals. Of course, stability of all parameters is paramount in reef-keeping success, no matter what system one uses. Bob

Hi Bob,

Okay, thanks for the reply. going to see about running some outside air to the skimmer and see if it makes a difference. I opened a window last night and PH went from 8.1 to 8.3.

Glad to be back on board with the Zeo, started up again Sunday.
