Anyone else have this problem? Dripping kalk was getting on my last nerve so I purchased some good substrate and it has been right on 8.2 for the past few days. Now im debating if possibly higher nitrates is a good trade off for stable alk.

If calcification is occurring in your system the "stable" alk produced by the new substrate will probably be short lived. Keep an eye on it.
