It was my mistake I went to change timer on doser setup and didn’t realize I didn’t change the “hour” time and was going to dose something like 20 hours. Lol. Thank goodness I seen my ph spike up and stopped at around 90 minutes on a 1.1 ml per minute doser
All depends on how high the salinity is and how much you add..
If you're directing that to me, I don't understand your question. The OP had a quick rise from 8.9 to 10.3.
It was a general question. In your op, what kind of swing (1.0, 1.5) in DkH is most likely to be problematic?
No informed idea. I would imagine that a 1.5 swing is the same level of "bad" regardless of the starting point. There are, however, additional issues with alk that is too high depending on nutrient values, but I'd only be regurgitating what I've read elsewhere.
Just curious, what kind of change would you get concerned at?
Daily rate has been around .6 dkh but I think that has been slightly increasing. Btw measured it this morning and down to 9.2dkh. So figure be at 8.9 ish by later today. I guess that brings up another question on rapid rise. How long in a rapid increase will or does it effect corals? This would have settled back down in a day and half. Does it need to be high for days or even a hour rise will impact them. Just curious!
One of the big reasons why people target '8.5' is exactly for this type of issue. That way an accidental overdose does not put your tank into the death sprial. Going into the 9's is not the end of the world and your tank will be just fine. Granted you may have one or two pieces that just says 'nope, im done'...but for the most part I think natural reduction is the way to go.
Do you know what your daily consumption is? It will tell you how long you have to wait..give or take.
