pH will not go up.

I have a low pH at around 7.9-8.0. I have been adding buffers but nothing is happening. It's like I have to add the whole darn bottle. Anyone got a solution? I'v been trying to brands, one is called "Perfect pH 8.2" and another is "SeaAlk".

Check your alkalinity and calcium as they all are intertwined.

yeah, definatly check your ALK and Ca. If those check out, then i vote leave it. a pH of even 7.8 isnt a bad thing at all as long as it is stable.

Caution is in order to avoid PH shock...
