Dripping kalkwasser will help. I would wait until the alk goes down before using kalk.

If you aim the at the surface you will add O2 and release CO2. This will aid in upping/maintaining pH. Alk also helps to maintain pH, but obviously something is out of kilter.
What are you P04 levels(Phosphates)? Are you protein skimming? |
