First of all, we are Greg and Karen from North Alabama. We have just gotten interested in saltwater aquariums and have a 20 gallon and a 75 gallon. I took water samples to LFS today and had them test for me. Ph was 7.6, Alkalinity 16 and Calcium 500 in our 20 gallon. The 75 gallon was 7.6 Ph, 11 alkalinity and 350 Calcium. They said we need to get Calcium down some, Ph up and alkalinity down in the 20. Any suggestions?
