I did my alkalinity test and it seems to at 15. I think it should be around 7 something. What does it take to lower it? I used tge salfurt kit.

Are you dosing ?
It will go down by itself....however, if tank is super stressed, do water change..
OR search "using Vinegar to lower alk"

Alkalinity is not something you want to change fast. best bet, let the tank consume it naturally until it comes down to the level you want. Otherwise small water changes over time ti'll it's where you want it.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
