I just dont know what else to do to bring my KH up. I have tried buffers, I have tried crushed coral. I do water changes once every week. I'm tired of worry about it. I'm loosing fish and I dont even know if that's why... I just dont know what else to do I am throwing money into this tank with no improvements. I have even tried the stuff to help keep it healthy.. I cant think of the darn name.... ugh but I dont know what else to do

With the Alkaline buffer by seachem it really doesn’t tell you how much. I mean I a stablished 2:5 to get it where I need it but 2:5 what? Cups, teaspoon, mil? Lol I don’t know why it posted twice. But the weird thing is , it stays the same before and after a water change.

Are you using AAP Wonder Shells? While WS do not bring up KH/Alkalinity, they do help with stabilization by improving ionic balance For similar reasons, I've sometimes used SeaChem Marine Buffer in community freshwater aquariums where KH is less stable: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Seachem.html#marineCarl

Got some sea hem buffer. So should it go higher or is that good enough with the different kind of fish
