Default About To Put A Bullet In My Tank!!!

Ok, this is really getting irritating....I can't get my Mag, Cal and pH to rise.

I've been adding Seachem's Mag, Advan. Cal and Reef Buffer (pH buffer) with no results whatsoever. I've been adding all of these for the past week and nothing happens...I add Magnesium and it makes no difference at all. I put Calcium, nothing....I add the pH buffer in the afternoon, by the next day, my pH is low yet again.... I have stopped using carbon and I'm only using Purigen (synthetic filter media that doesn't affect elements). Even after quitting the carbon, I've got nothing. The only other option would be to quit skimming, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.

I'm about to put a bullet or two into my tank at this point, that way I'll save the trip to the shooting range this weekend.

I've spent money on additives (trace elements), I even switched to reef crystals...nothing nothing nothing....I truly need some EXPERT advice 'cause I'm about to pop a vein......sigh....thanks guys. Peace!
