    This seems to be all the rage on one of my FB groups anymore. Everyone is doing it and claiming "awesome" results. Elegant Corals are making all of these claims about doing this, attached are some of what they are saying. I guess I'm just not a believer without seeing links to scientific data.

    I've seen threads mentioning it, but never looked to deeply into what was happening, or how they were accomplishing anything.

    I saw a big thread on reef2reef about it. Interesting, but I'm not sold on the idea. Hopefully worst case is just salt creep and it doesn't impact fish, clams or coral. Be interesting to see someone with good pH data before after and if the main benefit is pH related which can be done with kalk.

    There have been a few studies that have indicated pH below 8.0 has statistically lower growth and higher bleaching than 8.2.

    That was the only thing I could think of would be to maintain pH. Didnt know about about the pH below 8.0 though. If mine starts to dip I normally open the window and it goes back up again. Mine only drops below 8 for a couple hours when my lights go out.
