I need help, I ended up accidentally overdosing with seachem marine buffer. The reason I used this was because for the past week or so my PH has stayed at 7.8 and my room gets hot throughout the day because of how my room is designed, and my corals, my hammer especially started to look funny. So, I dosed the buffer, I have a 14 gallon tank and when I retested my PH was good but my alkalinity shot to high heaven.
I did do a water change, 25% and added new water. I use reef crystals and retested each hour and saw it come down from not being detectable to 15.3. Is there anything else I can do? I'm really concerned and mad at myself for accidently dumping too much because I couldn't find a dosage for a 14 gallon. I literally took pinches of the buffer and added my tank water and when I saw my PH was at 8.3 I checked KH and it was undetectable.
I have 6 corals 2 clowns, two turbo snails, 4 blue claw hermits, a scarlet hermit, and a neon blue goby and RBTA, I don't want them to end up dying.
What else aside from water changes can I do? I did research and saw a few things. Can I use distilled white vinegar? I'm not sure if people have tried that, or is that not going to do anything, is there a product I can get that is reef safe?
