Got a lps handy? Or a buddy with a reef. I don't know about you, but I would like another opinion. Lol.

I have been watching my ph go up and up and up and finally decided it was time to DO something. So, I calibrated my ph pen. It was 1.5 too high. I forgot the first rule of fancy gadgets. [emoji102]
 
Ok so I did some testing and I got an Alk of 8.4 and the calcium I'm not sure my Red Sea kit says 480 and my api kit says 400 and I did both twice and got the same thing from each twice


OK, with an alk of 8.4 dKH, I'm not sure I'd dose any unless you want the alkalinity even higher.

If so, start very slow since demand is low.
