Alk shot up after giving away 4 monti colonies.

Title.
My alk is usually 8.0-8.5ish now it’s around 9.6...

I just noticed it. All my corals look fine, acros are popping but I’m trying to avoid any problems

I typically dose 2ML or Alk and Calc every 4 hours starting at 4AM.

Should I leave it or change it to 2ML every 6 hours and let the tank adjust?

should I skip my WC tomorrow? If I do a WC I know it will drop the Alk but I don’t want to put anymore stress on the corals...

I don't see 1.1 bump in ALK as an emergency to be overly worried about. I would just lower your dosing test often to find the new requirements of your tank.

So keep it at every 4 hours but do 1Ml instead of 2?

Thats where I would start. You don't want to react too fast slow and steady is the way to go.

You'll be fine i accidentally left my dos on "On" instead o auto and my alk shot up reacted fast did a 50% water change tested and it was at 14dkh i just let it go down on its own after that. I lost 3 acos and an og bounce. I tnought i was gonna loose everything. I think you'll be fine just go slow. Good luck!
