Added new corals ALK dropped to 8.3

[Zeal]

Just got home, tested my water alk is at 8.3 usually 9.0 at this time.

Im doing 3ml every 8 hours but now I fear itll drop even more over night.

What should I do? Dose to 9? or change my doser to 4Ml an hour or 5?

Or chance it to 3ML every 6 hours?

I have a mixed reef with SPS

1. Recheck the test
2. Recheck the test
3. Forget it and recheck it
4. DONT CHANGE ANYTHING.
5. The rationale behind this is that alk changes during a 24 hour period - and depending on which test you're using - it could be within the margin of error. DO NOTHING

Or it’s testing error and also not far outside some hobby kit variances anyway.
