so about a two months ago my alk went from it's usual 8.3-8.5 to an insane 16.8. I'm guessing it was my jebao doser as that is the only reason I can see as I don't dose myself anymore. everything seemed to be okay till about a week or two later, as I brought the alk back down when I noticed the Alk burned tips starting to show and then it went straight to RTN and STN. I sent in an ICP and everything came back in range other than my nitrates and phosphates which are usually 2-4 and .05-.1. They were 14 and .15. the only other "thing" was tin. I don't really know of any information if it's good or bad or whatever but it was 7.6 so I put in cupizorb and hopefully it has gone down. I lost all of my sps but nothing else (clam, inverts, lps, etc. Nothing was effected) It's been about two months now since this incident and I have upgraded to multiple nero 5's and DOS for my two part. So after all that, I am wondering do you guys believe it was just and has been residual effect of the alk going so high even when i was able to bring it back down before all the dying started?
It has been so stressful and I feel horrible for trusting a 60 dollar doser on my corals that were beautiful Small colonies (baseball size) of acropora, monties, etc.
