the only reason we steered you away from using aragamilk is that your tank is small and the corals you have dont demand alot, water changes in your case should be enough for now as your getting the hang of things.now that your tank is in better conditon and the panic has dropped you can tr to boost your calcium but do so slowly....kalk imo is a tried tested and reliable way to do so, once your calcium is higher your alk will start to fall into place, in a small tank like your (15g lol sorry had too lol) dont dose too much or too many things start with one and start slowly,keep a record of what you dose,how much and when you do it, then record how long it took for your calcium to fall(doubt it even will)
