Chemicals Off - PH and KH
Hope you can help. My KH is 12.5 (steadily going up from 10) and my PH is at 7.7 (measured in afternoon) - down slightly from 7.9. What can I do to get these back in balance?
My Ca is at 480 with a reactor(effulent at PH of 6.4) and I Kalkwasser nighly for my top off. Mag is at 1350.

http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-09/rhf/index.htm Your alkalinity is fine at 12.5 dKH, especially if your calcium is 480 ppm.
