Hey, looking for some advice. My PH is staying around 6.4 and does'nt budge. My co2 there for wont kick on because my auto ph reading is set for 6.4. so i'm not getting the co2 dosing I am shooting for. Should I add somthing to boost my ph?. Plants look good but I have a mild algea problem(very mild) but i'm striving for perfection. 110 gallon tank, 500 watts lighting, use the florish line of products as directed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
It's a tough call since pH is so random/fluctuates throughout the day. I would get yourself a CO2 Drop Checker to give you an indication of where your CO2 levels are. They are accurate and can be found on ebay.
If it ends up you need more CO2, then maybe take out the pH monitor and go with the standard timer on and off. I'm hesitant to suggest adding a cuttle bone or some other additive to increase the ph.

I wouldn't raise your pH at all. I agree, get a drop checker and see where your co2 levels are.
The problem isn't with the tank, the problem is with the pH monitor. Don't try to "fix" the tank when the problem isn't in the tank.
