Kalk overdose

[VegasRick]

Whats your SG? KW overdose is not that big of a deal but a change in SG from so much freshwater might cause problems

Any carbon source like vinegar will lower ph but yes you will risk a bacteria bloom so be careful about adding to much. In my opinion your kh was too low to begin with.

NSW is in the 7 to 8 ... with 7 being the low side.. and 8-10 by many sps keepers. I prefer around 8 dkh.

With Eco-Bak many prefeer to be around 8 KH, I personally have tried that and now stay more towards 9-9.5 KH and seem to be having good results at these levels.

I think you'll be okay. I spiked mine to a pH of 9.8 when I dumped too much pickling lime in the top off bin and did a water change without unplugging the top off pump. Nothing suffered too bad (no loses, anyway). Hopefully, you'll have the same experience. good luck with it.
