So my ph tested at 7.8 today what can I do to bring it back up?

My PH is at a 8.0 consistently. I bought an item that is supposed to raise PH but not affect the hardness or calcium. I add that and it will be up around 8.2 but within a day or two it is right back to the 8.0 consistently. My dkh is roughly a 10 so I think that is okay but my calcium seems...

I have tried everything to bump my ph at least to 8.0. unless i use buffer I can't ever seem to reach that mark. My alk is always stable for the most part cept when i use ph buffer than it skyrockets up to 15. I use B-Ionic 2 part solution. I do frequent 10g. water changes and it raises the ph...

Awhile back I was trying to raise my PH. I was using a Kent Super Buffer, I tried a few times to raise it over the course of two weeks to no avail. After researching the heck out of it on the net I found out that it was because my house was closed up. So protein skimmer inlet tube meets...
