    I know that ph is lower in the morning than during the day or late evening. What is the typical/acceptable swing to expect?
    My signiture at the bottom of the page will show my chart info.

    Mine goes from high 7.9's to 8.2's. If you run a light in your sump that is reverse light cycle of your display lights, it will help keep photosynthesizing going on at night to keep your ph up.
