you might want to buy some 8.2 ph modifier

Just buy a chunk of dead coral. That will raise it. I had this prob in my fresh tank. PH wouldnt get above 6.1 so I added about 1/4 lb of dead elkhorn coral and its nearing 7.2 now. Also baking soda works, IN SMALL QUANTITIES. It works quick so be carefull, and test it every 20 mins after you add it. Use like 1/8 tsp, till you get 8.2. I've never had PH Up or 8.2 modifier work for me. Might just be my low PH tap water though.

put buffer i did and my ph was perfect.

seachem makes and 8.3 ph regulator which also will raise you alkalinity. i've been using it and it keeps my water stable there or just below.
