Did you cycle the tank fully?
Its not dead yet...Just closing up as its kinda cranky at the water.
If it is only a month old it is to early yet to have stuff in there.
And no there is no way to age it faster.
This hobby is definetly not about rushing things. Patience is what is required. Rush things and your livestock suffer and die.
And yes just raising your ph like that is an absolute no no...Once again do these things slowly.
What are all your others tests coming out as?
Salinity? And what is it measured with?
Temp?
Nitrate?
Nitrite?
Ammonia?
Are you dosing anything other than the ph buffer?
