    Info in LOW LIGHT CORALS???

    At least I was told it was a frogspawn. I'll upload a picture later. I could have been told one thing and it was something else. It started with one branch and now it has at least six. That is over a three year period.

    PH too high!

    A buffer would not help. It would probably make it worse. Test your water chage water. If is of a lower PH. Begin frequent small water changes until the pH comes down.

    I am going to try this question again.

    How to lower my KH?

    I have been having the same problem only I can't keep my PH up because my ALK was high. You will have that problem eventually if the ALK continues to stay high then all the buffer in the world will not raise your PH. My understanding is that the if the water used for changes is mixed corrected...

    How to lower my KH?

    Stop using any buffers and begin doing small water changes until the ALK lowers to an acceptable level. The level should be arounf 10 to 12 dkh.
