So I scraped off about 2-3rds of the coralline off the back of my tank. All of a sudden my ALK, per Trident, spiked up from 7.06dkh to 9.6dkh. Would all of the scraped off pieces of coralline floating for the last week cause a ALK spike? and if so I am assuming I should remove the pieces then right?
Or would it just be that I do not have as much "Stuff" aka coralline and my corals pulling alk out, so my balance if off? I scraped this all off about a week ago and everything has been fine.
An update, I just tested with my salifert tests, and it shows 8.0dkh. So I need to check my trident to make sure everything is ok there.
Thanks!
