Within the last few weeks I noticed my ph =8.6, alk=high, ca=300.
My test kit does not give an actual vale for alk. My question is the ph to high and if so what do I do to get it lower, i have done regual water changes and am dosing with esential elements and coral vite. On the simular note does/will these values have an ill effect on my polyps, they dont want to open anymore(about 3 days now or is that normal for them).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Can you recommend a better test kit I have red sea. Also Are there conserning valves and what makes my ph so high?
Thanks again for responding.
