Always had a ph of 7.6-7.8 with windows closed and everything did decent. Windows open was alway 8.0 and things were very happy.

New windows made my ph crash to 7.4 and my acropora decided to take a turn for the worst along with my alkalinity drop.

I went and routed my skimmer airline outside yesterday and after 24 hrs my ph went from 7.4 to 7.7 and I've seen an improvement already. Hoping this fixes my ph issues for good.

7.4 is very low. I'm not surprised that the coral was unhappy. Good luck!

PH is now a solid 7.7 with a hint of green towards 8.0 on a salifert test kit. Still seeing some base recession on some of my acropora, but hopefully it stops soon as my PH stabilizes. Got my alk stable as well.
