My doser timer malfunctioned and emptied my alkalinity container since I went to work this morning and I found it just bit ago when got home. It has raised DKH to 15.8 from the 9 I normally run and would have been much higher if had not ran out sometime today before I got home!!

Water heating at this moment but what will do more harm...

Doing a big water change and dropping dkh fast or ....do I let it fall slowly on its own...or somewhere in between say partial water change then let it drop

Experts please help or Randy chemistry guru!!

If you have a frag tank or quarantine even, maybe it’s worthwhile to pull some your corals out and stick them in there where the dKH isn’t so high?

How are things looking? I think you've got it down to a manageable number. Now you can probably just let it come down on its own.

Well believe it or not for going from 9 to 16 and back to 11 most things look reasonable and no visible loss of critters but guess few days will tell
