Calculate how much I need to increase my daily AFR dose to match this new consumption level

Check all parameters, check dosingpumps, count in fish and inverts then slowly raise it back to normal level.

I would never know it since I do not measure alk more than once every 2-3 weeks. But if it was low, I’d check the aFR dosing system and increase the amount if it looked in order. :)

Go check your ATO/sump for a stuck open valve and the introduction of a ton of RODI? If that happens you probably have a huge puddle on the floor too. Not sure why else it would drop so fast overnight. We talking tenths or more than ~1-2dKh?
