Dear Community!
We are currently in desperate need for help. The doser of my gf went crazy and didn't stop dosing fauna marine kh solution into her tank.
I noticed a squeaking noise from her office when i came home and wondered about it. When i checked the canister was already empty, and it had over 2 Liter in it.
So it dumped, over a period of 6 hours, something around 2 Litre of KH Solution into the system.
The system has a total volume of 600l.
We tried to measure how high it exactly is but none of our tests go this high. The Hanna HI772 displays 20 and blinks so... 20dkh+.
Calcium is probably absent by now.
I`ve read that it might be a solution to lower the alk by adding acid to the system?
Can somebody elaborate how we could do that? (we have citric acid powder which we use to clean our pumps, so we could mix some acid...)
Since we dont know the concentration i guess its dose a specific amount, measure: repeat.
If we could we would just do a big water change: But we neither have enough rodi water nor do we have enough salt.
We live in switzerland and its 21:00 so all shops are closed.
I do have more saltwater tanks that are running fine: do you recommend to move her corals to other systems?
Which would require breaking / ripping them of the stones.
Do you think it will kill fish / shrimps?
Will it kill anemones?
Any recommendation on how to proceed?
Kind regards!
