So I just bought a Hanna checker for both calcium and alkalinity. Right now my tank is sitting at 7.82 ph, 13.7 dkh, and 443 ppm calcium. I am thinking my pH is too low. I have two sps and have read that ph should be in the 8.3 to 8.5 range. I've been reading the article below. It's a DIY mix. Is this still valid and workable or should I do something else?
On another note, how do I adjust the ph without mucking up the other readings? I've tried baking soda, but it tops out at 7.89.
Thanks!
