So my alk is usually stable around 8.9 and when I started a vibrant treatment for algae I didn’t test for a while. One day when I was close to the end of the treatment I Decided to start testing everything again and discovered my alk was up to 14.3 ! I tested a few times and brought some water to my LFS and kept getting the same results. I’ve been trying to lower it with water changes. I’ve been using Red Sea blue bucket and can’t get it lower than 11.7 which is still getting to be acceptable. I’ve done three water changes that were all about 20 gallons in a 75 gallon tank. I would like to get it down to that 8 dkh mark.
