    I use Kent Superbuffer dKH to raise my pH, Then I use Kent Marine Coral Builder to stablize everything. This also raises alkalinity or KH.

    Hold on there.... where is your Alk at.... PH is effected by other things. Just dumping in stuff does not change things. My PH is around 7.8-8.0 and it has nothing to do with Alk or buffer.
