Brackish setup

[xDestro]

I'm getting a 20 long tank, aragonite sand and crushed coral for my brackish setup, my ph is neutral from tap so how much coral would be nessesary to bring it up around 7.7 8 ish range? Also can I use freshwater test kit or do I need saltwater? Thanks!

Neutral PH is 7.0 so I wouldn't worry or try to get it up to 8.0 it doesn't matter since the margin different is quite small. As for the test kit fresh/saltwater still using same kit if you buy API test kit, the only different is that saltwater kit only give you high PH test liquid bottle while freshwater you have 2 bottles for low and high PH test kit.
