How is your calcium Shane, if my understanding of water chem is right a low
calcium could cause alk to rise.

Thanks. I figured as much, and based that question on the assumption that an
alk of 4.6 was way to high for a reef tank. Now that I am not concerned
about that anymore, I have started my normal daily dosage of pH/alk buffer.
My problem was I thought I needed to bring the alk down, and I knew that
when I did so, the pH would drop as well, so I wanted to keep the pH up
while the alk dropped. No worries now though!
Thanks again,
Shane C.

No such thing. You mess with one, you mess with the other too.
If you are having low pH problems, and have satisfactory alkalinity
levels,
then you should be looking at gas exchange not adding something else
to
"fix" the problem.
