enlightening! I didn't know GFO made significant alk swings. This is good to know. Whenever I see my corals acting up, I'll turn my GFO off for a few days. That would be 'splainin it!

Hope it works out for the best, asylum.

If your running an ulns keep the alk between 7-8 and as stable as possible. I keep mine at 7.5 so it can still move up or down and be fine. I get burnt tips on anything over 8. I recently ran into the same problem not knowing about the gfo lowering your alk and got rtn overnight and then slowly continued for a week.
