i keep my alk at around 8-9 and my cal around 420-440 everyone is different sometimes you just have to settle for what you can get or spend the money and time to force your parameters to be in a certain spot....for lps you should be fine where you are to hence them looking great
i wouldnt even bother raising your alk unless you see it dropping if its steady at 7-7.5 then dont fix what isnt broke ....are you dosing anything now??
