Alkalinity adjustment

[khuff]

Hi people! So basically I got my alkalinity declining because of a dosing tube that got unhooked. All that is fixed now but to get my alk back where I want it. This is my question… can I dose the correction all at once?60 ml correction to 80 gallon system.

In general you should limit Alk increases to 0.5 - 1.0 dkh per day

1 DkH or 20ppm per day so you dont shock your corals. How much ALK do you want to raise?
