    Well, the new tank is running and i just received all new test kits to make sure things were accurate.
    Calcium is at 500
    Alk is 7
    PH seems to be in the upper 7's
    Can i just dump some baked baking soda into the sump to compensate for the low alk, which will also raise the ph?

    i would add some reefbuilder to your top off water. call me crazy but I am always leary of adding things to my tank that is not exactly ment for an aquarium. unwanted impurities and stuff. with your PH being so low a good sized water change may help get your other params in order as well.
