Last night I tested my ALK which was at 7.2 and then decided to bump it up a bit manually by using the manual feature of my doser. I’ve done this multiple times and each time it should increase it by around 1 DKH. However this morning it was at 12.6! I jumped first time I did it and tested again. 12.6 again. Both last night’s and this morning’s test were done with Hanna ALK, newly opened reagent so it is most definitely not an error.
Then I found the culprit. The airline tubing apparently kept on dropping by itself through gravity somehow overnight. Every few seconds, another drop came. I noticed that the fan I have in the sump accelerated this process
Now despite the 5 DKH increase in 10 hours, most of my corals look fine. All my soft and LPS are fleshy and open, I notice that my acros have the most polyp extension I have ever seen. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing. My plate coral is looking awful though. What can I do now? Do I just let everything be?
What can I do to stop the airline tubing from dripping by itself in the future?
