Softie/anemone/Fish tank is at 5.1 alk. Should I raise this one too?

Standard reef buffer should help get your alk up to 8-9 dKh. Go slow with the addition of buffer over several days. Your magnesium is also high so it will pull that buffer up into solution..........................Jim Z.

Yes, raise it. I bet your calcium is high here to. softies use it also just not as much as SPS. High calcium is what drives the coraline.

You're right Don. My Calcium very high. Off the Salifert chart over 500.

Thanks Jim. I'll work on balancing it.
