As everyone probably agrees here Randy Holmes has forgotten more than most of us will ever know about reef keeping. It
would be great if he or someone that has a inside his network would briefly entertain a high Alkalinity Phenomenon question that I am experiencing in my 250 gallon bare bottom with (real reef) rock work. . I have attempted to search out if he has addressed my problems before, but have not found exactly what is going on with my system that Coincides. I have tried, to decrease it with high volume water changes with low alk salt (fritz pro blue), water changes but it will drop initially to 11dkh, but within 24 hours raise to 12.5 per the trident checker. This has been going on for over a year now. My alk used to be no higher than 8.5 previously. I only have fish , soft coral, and anemone, no los or sps in tank. I tried dosing with white vinegar per Randy’s recipe with no change(not sure where I found it before), but I tried it for over 3 months time with no luck. Is it possible for macro Algea to be the culprit?
Even if you are not associated with Randy or team, please pipe in on any guidance.
