    i cant get my ph above 8.1 right now. my tank has never had this prob before. my t-5 ballast took a crap and im waiting for my new one to come in the mail. so all i have for lights are my moon lights and my 2 175w MH that i made stay on longer. they are on from 9am to 7pm. but i keep adding a ph boster but it wont stay up. all my other levels are where they need to be.
