Help Forgot to replenish my dosers 2 part alk solution !

[Purplelobst92]

So i woke up to one of my prized torch corals melting and 2 of my acro frags bleaching, everybody else looks decent to say the least but i realized my doser hasn't been dosing, so my alk dropped pretty low and my stupid self in my haste to correct the issue added too much alk solution and shot my kh up to 13 .... yeah i know super duper rookie mistake I've been reefing a long time and recently I've been working a lot like way too much and I've neglected my tank a little bit so take it easy on me... do you guys think i should do a 50% water change to lower the kh back closer to what it was? or should i just let the screw up marinate and see what happens, I'm so mad at myself for letting this happen normally I'm never this off of my game so this never happens my tank has been thriving up until now. ...

I would do 30-35% WC a day for the next 3 days and try and bring everything back in line. Will be a bit of work but super beneficial and easier for the corals to manage.

Do small water changes each day like recommended above. You need to go easy on the big swings right now and slowly get back to balance.

ideally you don’t want to bring it down by more than 0.5dkh/ day, you will also probably find ALK use really reduces or stops, due to sulking/ shocked corals So id dial your doser right back and do small water changes to let it fall slowly.

Yeah, small changes daily. You've already had the large swing, no need to have a second.

And if you have an apex maybe get one of these with the float switches so you know when to refill

so I did multiple small water changes and everybody looks good, unfortunately lost 2 frags and a fat head of neon torch but my my kh is stablilized and everyone is coming back, it will probably be a couple weeks until things are normal again though. thanks for the advice everybody.
