Good morning,
I am new to the hobby and been working on my new 30gal fish and mixed coral tank. Here are my readings

Test Results
pH 7.6
Ammonia 0
Alkalinity 11.8 dkh
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
Salinity 1.025
Calcium 350 ppm
Magnisium 1600 ppm

How do the readings look? I was thinking of brining the calcium up. What do you all think of Kent Turbo?

Welcome to R2R!

pH needs to get to at least a stable 7.8 and preferably 8.0. Calcium is fine and Alk and Mg are on the high side. What salt mix are you using and what is your water change frequency?

Once a week I'm doing water changes. I used instant ocean salt mix.

How can i bring the pH up?

Sounds to me like you've got excess of CO2 in your house. What kind of skimmer are you using?
