Also, i'm having trouble maintaining the alk. Was wondering if you had any ideas. I've been using Kent dKH, but am kinda scared to use it. I don't wanna spike the pH. Other than that everything is fine.
Thanks
25g
pH-8.2
Alk-7.28dKH
Cal-440

Looks good. Is 7.28 dkH that bad? As long as it did not go below 7 I would not sweat it. Maybe one of the resident experts in this area can chime in.
Keep up the good work!

ESV 2 part is a good product. Adding it will raise both alk and calcium.
Just be carefull you don't over do it.
Follow directions and test every few days until you reach the level you like.
Then monitor and add as required to maintain the levels you want.
Check ph during the day and then a few hours after lights out or first thing in the morning.
If you're not seeing too much of a swing then your alk level is working for you.
Cheers
