Time to ask for help
Hiya Shane,
You could probably bump the co2 to 1/3 again what you are currently at...dont worry,ph wont drop anymore and stay at your current effluent rate.
Then,once a higher alk is achieved(less than a week probably)increase both simultaneously(sp?) to meet ca and alk consumption.
This will raise your alk and drop calcium abit in the beginning,but its ok....you should get good noticeable growth with a ca of even as low as 390/400 and just worrying more about a good alk @ 3.8+.
You shouldnt need to use buffers at all,just keep bumpin the co2 up! :D
Keep us posted,Marc.
