neglected tank update- low ph -high calcium- high KH

something new every day


I finally broke down and a reef master test kit- thanks amazon :)

after the run around of changing things in the tank here are my new parameters

Salinity 1.28
PH: 7.6
Calcium 500+
KH - off the chart- based on the chart dkh is 14 making it 250.6 ppm
ammonia : 0
Nitrates finally down to 5ppm
phosphates 0.25ppm


I would like to be able to get some LPS
- some green stars, maybe some mushrooms and pulsing xenia
but obviously that PH has to go up

any suggestions on how to achieve this?

The tank is a 12gl nano that has been going trough major rehab
I will probably need to redo the lighting completely
the 3 chambers in the back have 1 cube of filter media - heater - pump

Here is a picture of the new look
