Last month, I accidentally refilled my alkalinity solution with calcium solution. So for about a week, I was double dosing calcium before I caught the mistake. The alkalinity dropped to 7 dkh and the ph dropped to 7.5, I've been trying to correct the issue through larger water changes (went from 10% to 20-30% each week) and dosing only alkalinity. None of the corals or other livestock displayed any adverse effects from the overdose of calcium.
I've gotten the alk back to 10.5 dkh but the pH remains in the 7.5-7.8 range and won't budge. Calcium is still over 700, so when will I begin to see any changes? Is there anything else I can do that may help speed the process of recovery?
Everyone on the local forum that I am a member of says that I am on the right track, but after a month I'm not seeing much progress. Things seem to have stabilized.
any advice is appreciated
