Trying to rule out other things before landing on the Kalk keeping the pH up.
You can always dose a bit of Kalk and a reduced 2 part, if the pH concerns you. However, the levels you are at are not harmful. Personally I like it higher, as do you.I run it through the skimmer. And I even added my second scrubber. Doesnt seem to be making a difference. I try to hold it around 8.3-8.4 but now that I'm off the kalk it dropped

If you want the pH higher, you can replace the sodium carbonate in the two part with sodium hydroxide. It has twice the pH boost per unit of alk added, and matches kalkwasser in pH boost.
Second New DIY Two Part Recipe with Higher pH Boost
In a previous thread, I posted a true two part DIY recipe: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/new-diy-two-part-recipes-with-higher-ph-boost.344500/ But some folks may want to just swap the new ingredient into my 2/3 part recipe (as used by BRS, for example).

Do you recommend any brands? Also, you state it gets warm? Will that cause issues with my dosing containers?
