Is anything apparently suffering from the high alk?

I'd probably just wait for it to drop while dosing nothing, unless you find calcium gets too low, but water changes or adding a mineral acid (such as muriatic acid) can be used. The mineral acid approach drops pH tremendously, if temporarily.

Did a 20% wc and stopped adding alk for sm days and all was normal.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
