So my ph meter has been reading 7.7-7.8 a couple weeks ago. I started dosing with Kent marine dkh/ph super buffer. I got my ph meter up to 7.9 but now my Kh is 13. I did a water change today & tested my water.
Results as followed with salifert kits
Salinity--1.025 (refractometer)
Temp--79.8
Ph--7.9 (Ph meter)
Kh--13. (11 with API)
Calcium--360
Magnesium--1170
Strontium--16-18
Phosphates--0 (0.4 with Hanna checker)
Nitrates--25
Nitrites--0
Ammonia--0
I checked my ph meter with new calibration fluid & it is accurate. So how do I raise my ph without raising my Kh anymore but further more why can I not get my ph to stabilize??? Thanks
