PH - Windows Open
« on: June 16, 2011, 01:39:10 »
Just wanted to share the effect open windows has on our reef tanks.  Over the past 7 days a PH measurement was taken and recorded every 10 minutes. This graph illustrates the daily swing from 8.10 to 8.18 for the first 3 days. Then I open the windows on the morning of Day 4 which causes the PH to rise over the following 4 days to 8.33

I've heard that before but never saw it in graph form.  Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
