Hey team, Alk doser was left on by mistake for several hours. Went from 7.87 at 6:30 am to 10.2 at 11:00 am. Tank is cloudy with perciptation. Making new water now for a change asap. Would it be better to wait for. 30 percent water change or do two 15 percent changes back to back? Any other tips, thoughts suggestions?

PH Spiked from 8.2 to 8.8
ORP dropped from 482 to 382
 
Well, there are worse things to happen. Anything up to 9 something DKH scale is ok. PH is ordinarily not a concern. DO a 15% and give it 30 minutes. Re-test. See where you are then. What's involved? Corals, stony, softie? FIsh-only?
 
Right now, a little mix in the tank. Got a few of all the species as I slowly move to an sps dominate tank. Had some growing pains with the transition. It happens. Fingers crossed the sps frags can manage. not too worried on the rest...not near as fickle.
