I think I may be having problems with PH'in my DWC system.
I PH my water to 5.5 - 5.8 and allow my system to settle a bit (pumps on etc)
I then re-check and the PH always go up to about 6.5 on average.
I'm confused at what the real PH is and if it's reading this high shall I gradually lower it over the week before I do a complete tank change or shall I PH my water to about 4.8 and let it rise to my desired PH level. Or just PH at 5.5 -5.8 and accept this is the real PH?
Cheers guys for your help and advice
