I currently dose Tropic Marin All-For-Reef. It does a fantastic job of keeping my calcium and magnesium stable in my tank, however it cannot keep up with buffering the alkalinity. I decided to start dosing kalkwasser because I figured it would help with the alkalinity and I would have the added benefit of the ph increase, which I had plenty of headroom for. Only issue is the kalk is also raising my calcium numbers, that are stable. If I get the kalk to buffer the alk up to a number i need, it sends my calc over 500. So my question is, would Soda ash be a better alternative to kalk so it just raises alk? Also, will soda ask give me the added boost to PH that kalk is giving me?
Thanks in advance!
