Here is my first photo of 2011.

I got home today and the first thing that greeted me was the tank that has OD in Alkalinity am going to say about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon. Unfortunately I don't have anyone else to blame but me. I was adjusting the setting on the timer for the dosing unit yesterday and I forgot to set an end point for one of the setpoints.

the Hanna Digital displayed 214 (11.96 DKH) to most people this is somewhat borderline in my case when my reading is typically at the 130 range (7.25 DKH) this is a big jump. The first reaction is I got to do some water change which I will be doing momentarily, after I had a chance to take it all in I remembered high ALK = low CAL so i've been dosing CAL slowly. My calcium yesterday night was at 440ppm and after the initial test was taken it was a measly 240ppm.

As it stand the only visible casualty so far is my sixline wrasse, and possibly an orange and a blue linkia starfish. As per my SPS from what I can see they still have there normal polyp extension.

Anyways got to run a do a quick water change hopefully to stabilize the system.

Oh no..

Man alive, it's always something that gets you when you let your guard down.

Been there or at least in similar if not identical circumstances ... I feel for you! Best of luck with the recovery and hope the losses are reasonably contained at this point. Sorry about your sixline and linckia's.

My goodness, I hope you can save it. I was just debating adding an auto doser to my tank. Now I'm a little concerned. I'm sure this is a rare occurance. Good luck, beautiful tank.

Thanks Douglas, I have no regret about adding the auto doer as this is a complete user error.

It's more like dont work on critical/detrimental items when you’re tired. and always double check and triple check everything.
