Recently I felt it necessary to raise my pH and Alkalinity a bit. Unfortunately I believe it did it too quickly and now my corals are dying a slow death - any suggestions - or just let the alk come down slowly and naturally. It has been a week - have not dosed anything - have done a couple small water changes and things are continuing to go down hill.
I believe the parameters are ok now - but I got to them too quickly. Tried to raise over the course of a week.
Original parameters
pH 7.89
dKH 5.5
Ca 480
currently
pH 8.12
dKH 9-10
Ca 380
I have another small tank with parameters similar to original parameters. Is it wise to move some of the corals to it - or will that be as bad as the shock caused by the swing to the higher dKH?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
