Boomer,
Yes I am using Sea Chem 8.3 PH Buffer - it is the closest to 8.4 of any of the other buffers available around here. I checked the label again - I did read it before use but...

That question provoked my memory. Since I first reported low PH & high ALK I did add SC 8.3 buffer but forgot to consider that as I re-tested the aerated and reheated water and compared it to the...

I asked him once - the answer is phosphate. There are actually four bonded oxygen atoms, one with a double helix. Why he chose the dreaded "phosphate" as an avatar is better answered by him. I know...
