Happy Merica day! Need to ask if I'm doing something wrong with alkalinity. I have a 75 gal with 30 gal sump. My calcium level is currently 420 and my KH has been consistently at 6 dKH or 2.14 meq/l which is obviously low. I have been adding 20ml, which is 1 meq/l, (like it says) of Seachem reef carbonate for over a week everyday and only raised it from 5 to 6 dKH. Is this normal? Is it safe to keep adding it everyday?

Yes, it is safe to add alkalinity every day. Most established reefs do, if not many times per day. :)
