Increasing PH safely

[justmee]

My PH is kind of low around 7.6, can anyone tell me the proper steps/procedure to bring up PH safely without shocking any fish or harming corals? I was thinking of using Seachem PH buffer to increase my PH, but how much PH should I increase per day? Thanks!

Test your alkalinity first.
Ph can be low alk or high co2.

Good gas exchange is the best way to work on your ph.
If you don’t have a lot of stony coral it’s really not big deal. But can be an indicator of low oxygen.

A lot of ph buffers only raise ph temporarily too. And they increase alk.
