PH Buffer in ATO Tank?

[TheReefDiary]

Is it better for me to put ph buffer in my ato tank or to dose it manually into the tank itself according to the levels?

It's going to raise your alk too. I would keep that at the front of your mind when making that decision.

It would be better not to use buffers for PH, that may destabilize your chemistry. They only raise PH temporarily, then it will fall back to “normal” for your system.

Maybe dose Kalk and that add your alk and ca components, as well as a bump in PH.

Thanks I'll take a look into that. Appreciate it.
