For a tank that is 6 weeks old, a pH of 8.0 to 8.1 is fine.

Before too long, you will probably want to measure and begin supplementing calcium and alkalinity if necessary. Many alkalinity supplements raise pH, and if yours rises to 8.2 (a typical seawater value) that is fine.

Most reef tanks are kept between pH 8.0 and 8.45.
