Alk too high

mmw64 · Jul 21, 2019

I have recently been having trouble with high alkalinity in my Red Sea Reefer 350. After a water change using Red Sea blue bucket my alk measures 10.86. I suspect the rise is from my battle with aiptasia using aiptasia killer from Frank's Tanks. Since this product seems to be working, if I don't use it for a while. will my alk come down on its' own or do I need to help it along? If so, what should I use to lower it?

That doesn't seem too high to me. But thats because my alk is about 14.4 today. I think 7-11 is the recommended range if I remember right. What was your alk at before?

It has always ranged somewhere in the 8's.
