Alkalinity

[janiners305]

I've been using the rowa phos and my phos is reading 0.06 and slowly coming down but I noticed on my Hanna checker my alk is at 6.5 now it was at 8.5 6 days ago anyone know if the rowa is what lowering my alk? I'm dosing part a and part b 25 ml a day and am heavily stocked with sps so my question is how'd it get that low and how do I get it back up?

Yes the Rowaphos is lowering your alkalinity. ALL phosphate removal products lower you alk.

I figured and how can I bring it back up with a buffer of some sort?

Sorry didn't see the last part. Dose more buffer. Depending on what your using can be either a or b.

I forgot I had the bright well 8.3 so I put some in and I noticed my ph jumped to almost 8.3 on one dose lol my stonies didn't have polyp extension after that haha

Be careful not to raise your alk to fast. Sticks don't like it.

The bright well has and 8.3 ph buffer in it. Should not go above 8.3.
