well instead of a build thread I get to do a panic as my first post…
I’m new to the hobby and recently discovered my Alk was low at ~7.0 dkh so went to LFS and they recommended seachem buffer. So went home and did some terrible math reading units incorrectly.
I have now spiked the alk to 11.4 then realized my mistake. I did one water change to get down to 10.4, currently mixing more water as of course my storage was low. I’m hoping next change gets me to 9.4 then one more to 8.4.
Is this going to impact my fish and the few corals I have? Is there anything else I can do to low the alk to reduce the spike duration? Am I over worrying?
