High PH 8.6

[wlittlefield]

Morning all,

Last night as part of feeding I shut of my ATO and skimmer. I remembered in the middle of the night and turned on the ATO.

As a result I think it over dosed Kelkwasser.

This morning my PH is reading 8.6/7 on my digital meter (calibrated 1-2 weeks ago).

It's a 30 gallon IM all in one.

I just turned my skimmer back on and chucked an air stone in the back increase aeration.

DkH is reading 9.1
Calcium is 411
NO3 is 1.5
Salinity is a little high 1.027
PH 8.6

Should I try and add some soda water as this nice article suggests?

Or give it some time?

pH 8.6 is OK. Just let it fall on its own.

You're welcome.

I'll be if you measured again it is already dropping.

I wish. Still reading a solid 8.6 after an hour.
