Time is the best way to do this. Yes, your PH buffer will raise your alk. If you've got low PH with high alk, you most likely have too much CO2 (and here's were that Kalk reactor comes into play! It would definitely help you with this.
Stop dosing alk/ph buffer and keep increasing your Ca as normal until they're back into a balanced range.
