Default How do I raise the PH in my tank?

With my pool... I can add PH +... Now obviously I wouldn't add this to my tank... but is there a chemical or trick to raising it in the Marine tank?

Matt for a problem with PH that is constantly low due to top off should you or do you recommend adding buffer to top off water?

Yeah that would work if you have the freshwater version.
I use a canister filled with calcium reactor media that my top off goes through prior to the tank. That helps too.

thanks for the info everyone. I'm going to visit the LFS to see what they have in stock. I didn't want to look too dumb face to face there (here I'm used to it!)
Thanks again
