Problem With PH

For the past two years I have had trouble getting my PH above 8.0. My water out of the faucet test 8.0 and the reverse osmosis water test 8.0. My alkalinity is high and I have a good calcium range. I have added PH 8.2 and Kent's PH Plus and nothing I add into the tank raises the PH. I have added the kents like several days in a row and it still does not go up. I use Kalkwasser in my make-up water. What is keeping my PH from not going above 8.0? I use the Salifert Test Kits and the tank is 125 gallon. My corals look fine in the tank and look healthy but I have trouble with anemonies. I hope someone has a product that they know about that will raise my PH to at least 8.2 or better.
Thanks :confused:

I assume you don't have a calcium reactor, so I recommend Seachem Marine Buffer.
BTW, what is your alkalinity, what gravel do you have and how deep is it?
