I have been adding buffers everyday for the past 3 weeks and they still wont stay up overnight. I have been adding Seachem reef bulider for the alk, and Seachem reef advantage calcium to raise calcium. Both of the readings are as follows- KH/alk 7.0-2.51 meq, calcium is always at 370 ppm. I use Salifert test kits and have them checked at the LFS. My tank only contains two SPS a boat load of zoanthids and a monster toadstool. The tank has been up for years and I do a change about every month, whenever the trates get to high, with Coral Life salt. Any ideas would be great because I am witts end.
