Can a higher reef tank pH double coral growth? | BRStv Investigates

Today on BRStv Investigates, we're showing off our latest experiment in the BRStv Lab where we take a look at how higher pH can effect coral growth in the reef tank. Who wouldn't want 50% or more coral growth from their frags and we aim to find out if it's possible through pH control! Sign up for your chance to WIN some Neptune and EcoTech gear! https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/specials/free-stuff-prizes.html Today on BRStv, we have a brand new episode of our series, BRStv Investigates. In this series, we explore popular reefing theories, products, methods, and what the manuals are missing, with a focus on putting them to the test! In this installment, Ryan shares our experiment where we are putting elevated pH to the test to see just how it effects coral growth rates. Follow along as we also discuss just how this approach can work and the science behind coral growth. We release a new BRStv Investigates episode each Friday, so don't forget to hit that subscribe button to see what's coming up next! *Legal Stuff* The purpose and content of this video is to provide general information regarding the products and their applications as presented in the video.

I personally say thank you everyone involved in bringing this information to the BRS community. I think all three of the companies named in helping with this test ECOTECH, Neptune, and WWC are great stand up folks who care about the Critters as much or more than making money in all this.

I'm super excited to see how this will turn out. I am constantly battling a pH that hovers around 7.8 to 8.0. I can't seem to get any higher. I've been debating on whether or not to get a CO2 scrubber. This will maybe help make my decision.

Just a note about ocean acidification. If the average pH of the ocean drops to 7.8 from 8.1 by 2100 as predicted, it will still be well above seven, the neutral point where alkalinity becomes acidity.
The central concern is that lower pH will make it harder for corals, clams and other “calcifier” creatures to make calcium carbonate skeletons and shells. Yet this concern also may be overstated. Off Papua New Guinea and the Italian island of Ischia, where natural carbon-dioxide bubbles from volcanic vents make the sea less alkaline, and off the Yucatan, where underwater springs make seawater actually acidic, studies have shown that at least some kinds of calcifiers still thrive—at least as far down as pH 7.8.
In a recent experiment in the Mediterranean, reported in Nature Climate Change, corals and mollusks were transplanted to lower pH sites, where they proved “able to calcify and grow at even faster than normal rates when exposed to the high [carbon-dioxide] levels projected for the next 300 years.” In any case, freshwater mussels thrive in Scottish rivers, where the pH is as low as five.

Thank you for all your work. I personally try to keep my tank around 8.4 with alkaline buffer. 7 milimeters almost everyday. I also feed my corals (predominately anemones) reef frenzy and they have grown alot in a couple of months. I know a guy with a great tank and he even keeps his pH around 8.9. This is going to be a great experiment and looking forward to the results.

I love what you guys are doing with trhis test! Ph is something I have struggled with as I have my entire system in a finished basement. Running an outside airline for the skimmer has helped but getting above 8.15 doesn't happen often, only when the weather permits a window being cracked. Even then, the upper teens is the best I've seen.

I can't thank you and your sponsors enough for this work. In fact, I watched your entire 52 weeks of reefing series, and its been essential as I setup my first Reef tank. Your contributions to this hobby are fantastic, and most (MOST!) appreciated by me and other new reefers, I'm sure. I'll be following this experiment closely. My (new 3 month) tank is running between 7.9 and 8.0 using outside air and a reverse light cycle algae reactor. Be interested to see if I have to take more proactive steps to speed up growth of all the new frags in my tank.

Depending upon the outcome of this experiment, my next question is how practical is it to fight pH to keep a particular value. I mean I know you can artificially tweak it, but is it really cost effective to do so.
Mike B
Mike B - 6 years ago
Well there's your next series! How much do each of those methods actually raise pH, I believe you already did the CO2 scrubber one but that can get expensive replacing the media constantly, refugium do what a 2-3 tenths at night if you run it on a reverse cycle? Kalkwasser absolutely can raise pH but can you add in enough quantity to consistently keep the pH up without also overloading your calcium and alkalinity, 2part... never heard of that method to raise pH.
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 6 years ago
Between 2 part, c02 scrubbers, refugiums, kalkwasser , fresh air and proper skimmer use there is a plethora of methods.​ Not everyone will be able to do it but most will be able to find a easy method.

Many reefers add additional flow to the tank to increase the oxygen exchange, or open a window to increase the ambient oxygen. Another option is to add a CO2 scrubber.

Reconsider my priorities??

Er... Do you EVEN reef bro?

Lol :)

Tank = life

If I can get by on under 6 bucks a day for food until pay day so that I can get this new tank cycling, then that my friend is simple good budgeting....

Tom If you can't afford to take care of yourself, maybe its time to reconsider you're priorities. Begging for free gear is a guaranteed way to NOT be selected as a winner.

CreepyMonkey HeadGame if I win the mp10 it’s yours. I need the dos so I’ll keep that, but can’t use the mp10. So if I win, you win.
