It sounds like you already know what the problem is: the CO2 from your air conditioner. No matter how much stuff you dump into your tank to up the pH, as long as there is excess CO2 hanging around it...

I'm still kind of new but not sure why you are looking to upgrade? Seems like given your depth that should be plenty of light. If you're working on a budget, why not just spend zero dollars?
