I’m having trouble with my KH. I am using RO water when I make new saltwater, but when I add marine buffer the KH shoots way up also. I can’t seem to find that balance where I can keep a 8.3 PH and not have the KH go through the roof. I did a 20 gal water change last weekend and I bought 20 gallons of premade water from my LFS. After it ran for about 6 hours I tested Ph and it was at 8.0 with a KH of 8. I added just a teaspoon of buffer to get 8.3 and the KH shot up to 14. It’s like I can’t get one without jacking up the other. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Erik
