From my experience, the softies in my tank were not affected from a huge alk swing. Just try to slowly bring it down over the next few days/week
I did a 5%-10% water change daily
If you just wait - it will come down on its own - just dont dose in the meantime.... Probably less stressful since they are already at 11.
I just had a similar episode - have acorapora, some soft corals and multiple fish - my alk normally ran 7.5-8 - I mixed up a new soda ash batch (with the correct recipe) - but I dont think it was mixed adequately -meaning that the lower part of the jug probably had a higher concentration of carbonate. Thus - more dosage - the alk rose to about 14. I stopped dosing and over 2 weeks it dropped. I did notice that the corals were looking stressed (which is why I tested) - Its hard to say - mine have nearly all fully recovered after 2 weeks.And nothing detrimental will come about during that time?
Just to be safe ill take them over to my work tank till this comes down, i have another coral in there for now
as you will, but realize the have already survived the up shock. now your giving them second down shock
I shot my all from 7.4 to 10.5 only my acro frags died. No other coral including lps and monti didnt get affectedMy alk went from 8.5 to 11... i accidentally overdosed... will there be any mortality? I only have soft corals 2 mushroom and 1 scoly
I hit a mushroom with a hammer trying to chisel it off a frag plug. It's still alive and will probly outlive me.
Ricordea Yuma tend to be a bit more picky or difficult to provide for, I have found.Are all mushroom species bulletproof? Or are there some that are more sensitive?
