I have been having trouble keeping my Ph up for a few months now. When ever I test it, it is 8.0 or 8.1 and has not gone above that for a long time. Now I am having trouble keeping ALK up where I like it. It is between 2 and 2.5. CA is up at 480. All other parameters are fine, ammonia at 0, nitrite at 0 and nitrate at 5, temp 80. Any suggestions on how to get Ph up to 8.3 and ALK up to 4-6? I am doing bi-weeklyish 15% water changes using Coralife salt. Is it time for a buffering addative or just time to try a new salt? Thanks!
