    My goal is to have the pH settle in the 7.4-7.6 range. Seeing that all the other tanks are there or higher, it has to just be the KH.

    The pH rose to 7.0 overnight, and the KH dropped to 1-2 (turned yellow on drop 2, so could be anywhere between 1 and 2). My estimate is KH dropped a point. The rocks will take some time to balance out the acidity.

    Are you talking about products like Instant Ocean when you say "mixing saltwater"? I only used standard aquarium salt in the past, not ocean salt. I havent used any salt in my tanks in a few years.
