Alkanity
I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me solving this problem. I did a PH test last week and it showed it was 7.6, but my Alkalinaty is always at the high limit which is 11dhk, I always keep my calcium around 420ppm. so I checked the PH from my RO water and tap water and they both showed around 7.4. Even after I added salt to my RO water, I tested the PH and it was 7.6. so I know that my PH is not dropping its just low from my water. So last week I added a PH buffer, it brought it up to 8.2 but my Alkalinaty went up to about 23dkh which is too high so I did a 10% water change to correct it. SO my question is, what can I dose my top up water to bring the PH up but not the Alk or i would like to bring the Alk down to 9 if possible. Thank you.
