Hi guys

So i made a boo boo... was ment to increase my alk dosing by 20 mil but instead i put in 200mil into my dosing pump so rather then 100mil total i was dosing 300mil over 6 doses per day

So over the past 3 days ive been dosing way too much, my dkh has gone up by 4dkh from 7.6 to 11.1. I know some people say not to increase dkh by mote than 1 per day... and im slightly over that

My target was 8dkh. I dont want to shock the corals. so whats the best way to lower it?
Should i just stop dosing untill i hit 8dkh through coral consumption and resume my original dosing ? Or do some water changers.

Thanks

I’d shut off the doser today and ride it down. What are nitrates and phosphates at?
