You can use Reef Buffer by Seachem to raise Kh.

The cheapest way... baking soda (sodium bi-carbonate)

after i raise my kh, what do i have to look out for? do i need to raise my Ca?

[AlfaRomeo]

No need to raise CA. Did you check for Mg?

[prec]

din get Mg testkit.. harha.. is it rly necessary? im using corallife salt.. shld be fine i hope..

[AlfaRomeo]

Mg is one of the most important things to check. MG should be around 1200- 1400. Only with this level, will your Kh and CA be able to maintained properly.

Remember raise in this order.

Mg followed by kH then Ca
