Hi guys,
I was wondering why my KH is so damn high. This is my second time attempting to make a jar aquarium but still new when it comes to this.This is my second test results and everything was fine from the first except the KH. Not sure why the PH went up.
In the jar I used bio soil for the bottom, coral sand and some white GEX sand as the cap. It has 1 Anubis and some dwarf grass type. Also a small filter since I'm hoping to add shrimp in it.
Any help would be appreciated!

I’d assume the coral sand is essentially crushed coral? This is pretty much just calcium and guaranteed to raise the KH of the water, especially with aquasoil underneath that will tend to acidify water, increasing the rate the calcium will dissolve into the water to reach a stable point.
