Hello all,
tank is about 3 years old. Alkalinity was at 8.0, calcium was low at 380, mag 1250, phosphate 0.03, nitrate 1ppm.
my dosing container cracked and leaked about 1 litre of 50-50 diluted alkalinity part into my tank (reef zlements z ph plus). Water was milky as anything and I could not see in the tank. I have done 2 x 20% water changes. Acros are totally white after 1 day. All other corals’ polyps are super retracted.
alk was untestable using salifert (over 15.77) I got it down to 12 after a water change and ph got up to 9.3 and did not change after first water change. I have not tested after the second water change. This happened yesterday morning, I caught it pretty quickly (first water change maybe around 3 hours after it happened).
should I take my most prized corals to my lfs to look after or has the damage been done and would this be worse?
thanks!
