Just wondering how you over dosed on Alk so badly? What were you buffering with? Or are you using a calcium reactor alone. Also it has been my experence if you raise your Ca to 430 or so your alk will drop and balance out while doing the water changes the others talked about. I use Elos test kits and find them to be superior to many others just my opion though. Good luck

I used baking soda. I also used an online calculator witch works but those results and with results from the water test from the Lfs I mixed up a batch but a coversion factor thing screwed me up basicly I guess I was not thinking and could/should have double checked IE: ppm vs kh or meg/L
