KH and Ph

[frankin09]

Hello, I am struggling to raise my ph which is at 8.0. Also my KH which is at 6.5. I have 4 small frags of Zoas. How would I be able to raise the levels. The tank has good water movement and I have 2 clowns and a six line wrasse and a coral banded shrimp. But I’m looking to add a yellow tail blenny and a pair of cardinals. I have a 37g tall and I am running a fluval c3 (Hob) and a green killing machine 9w. The tank has only been ruining close to two months. Any tips?

You can manually dose some alkalinity.

Would this one be good?

Yes. Just make sure when you're starting it that you half the calculated dose for the first week or so.

If you need both alkalinity and calcium, but you may want or just need alkalinity. I use Red Sea or Nyos, but there are many brands.

Thats the same thing essentially and just raises alk.

Good to know (I've never used any of the 2-part products).
