Live Res pH Control - How do you manage it?

So I will give you a run down of where I am at.


I was running topfeed with timed drip cycles...

I had issues and got pythium. Not really sure still how i did but anyway... Replaced almost everything twice and finally switched to a live res and coco medium. Immediately saw good results. As far as I can tell the pythium is still gone. The plants all rebounded and are growing nice again.

That being said I have to PH down the res almost daily as it wants to keep creeping up. I was told that it is a sign the good bennies need to be replenished. But the foam and bubble that the bennies seem to increase and enhance are all still happening...

What do people do in a DWC res live ? Do you have to keep adding the bennies every few days, Ph ing consistently?

Just curious what others have run into....

Thanks in advance...
