so moral of the story i have a 120gal tank with mixed sps lps and 2 good sized clams. I dose brightwell alk and calcium at the momoent but I recently bought a hour so I have neglected the tank since I am no longer at my parents every day to look after it. At some point about a week ago I came home to a empty dosing container. When I tested alk it was at 50ppm. I buffered it to 160 with baking soda and refilled my containers. Came back 2 days later to it back down to 50ish alk. Buffered again. Now we are 3 days ago i did a 40gal waterchange as my euphylia was not lookin hot and I have alot. Now today I'm on to do a 60 gallon water change. But I just tested m alk and its 46ppm and my calcium is 230ppm. Obviously out of balance what can I do o level everything out asap to get re stabilized. Should I buffer clcium first then alk then water change or change water then buffer everything? Really stressed lol 70ish heads of black torch and tons of golds. Any help thanks
