So my alkalinity has been creeping up a bit over the last couple months. Tank is about 7 months old. I do not dose alkalinity or calcium, do not need to yet. I used Tropic Marin Pro Reef. A few months back my alkalinity was hanging out in the low 7s. Today it is 9.8. These are obtained by a Hannah Alkalinity checker. I haven't even been doing consistent water changes lately either because I was battling low nutrients/dinos a few months back (resolved).
I cannot begin to think of a reason why it keep creeping up. I want to keep it around 8-8.5.
