With all the talk of blastos in the thread not too long ago, I decided a last minute purchase…

How do you guys decrease your alk? Mine was 9 and steadily climbed to 11
First suggestion should be look for what might have caused it or is it a testing error. For testing I use three different test. Trident, Hanna and Salifert. Trident is usually a bit erratic so if it swings I’ll check the others. If all three show a change, the first thing I check in new saltwater mix for my auto water change. RC tend to not be consistent. As far as bringing it back down, I’ll go slow by reducing my dosing amount. I’m not looking to reduce it quickly, just maybe 0.2 per day so I don’t shock anything. Most times I’ve found it’s just testing error.
