PH help

[currentking]

My PH is at 7.9 alk at 9 and cal at 400
How can I raise up my ph a little? I run a fuge with cheato. do I run the lights on a different schedule than the fuge or the same??

What's the daily swing? Is that 7.9 in the morning, or before the lights go out? A lime drip might help.

I just tested it and the lights have been on all day. I guess I need to test it after the lights are off for awhile

If you just tested it then it will drop even lower tonight after the lights go out.You may want to look into a lime water drip as bertoni said.

can someone explain what a lime water drip is? Is it just dripping lime juice into the tank? Sorry, ive never had this problem.
