so i had a alk od wednesday evening... all is ok.... big shout out to all that helped me out. i learned and saw a few interesting thing durning this precipitation event like a falling ph.
as i watch the tank and worried . i notice my ph just dropped all day long. got down to a 8.1 for a nightly low from a normal 8.3X low.. the increased alk, spiked the ph (briefly thats odd), but the ph contiuned to drop to below MY normal levels. " the higher alk the higher ph" is what we learn, but this was the oppsite; i had high alk with a continuously falling ph. here is a graph of my ph fall.
so why did my ph not remain high and fall in unicen with the high alk?
i futher believe that since i maintain a high ph range of 8.5-8.6, the od of alk, with a ph spike up to 8.91 was a minor impact upon my corals? would you agree?
