!!!Alk Doser left on!!!

Making water right now. I’m about 3 hours from 55gallon emergency water change. 200 gallon system. Ph is at 8.72. Trident said Alk is at zero but hanna checker says 16.2 and a repeat test says 16.3. Stay calm? Anything else to do? Everything appears to be fine for now.

Is the water cloudy?

If the pH is still above 8.6, I'd add soda water or vinegar to drop it below 8.6.

Ok, if it is clear, I’d measure the alk.

Alk is at 16.2. Doing a water change right now I’ll test after

Not too bad. Precipitation will likely bring it down as well.
