:mad2: Im super pissed at myself. I am working with the brs 2 part and I was going through there calculator to adjust my alk to the level I wanted to maintain. Everything going fine but I read the calculator wrong and instead of dosing the oz of it called for I dosed the teaspoon amount in oz. Basicly instead of dosing 6oz I dosed 30oz . I only had 40 gal of saltwater mixed up so I changed out the 40 and just picked up 55 more RO from jason TRFS he had just sold out his last saltwater in the bin. So Im mixing 55 and another 25 that I made while I went to Jasons. Any other advice except WC? Normaly I mix my salt 24hrs do you think I could mix it for an hr or so and be ok? So far nothing looks pissed ( well except my open brain ) all fish doing fine. I feel like a complete idiot :suicide:

sorry for all the posts... once i did the same and my alk took off to 16... 12 is a little on the high end but your sps will love it. the biggest thing is to balance your CA... with alk at 12 your CA should be at 445ppm. once you're in balance the alk will drop about a point a day... depending on your bio load.
I do not but thanks for the idea. I did a total of 80 gallon WC. I will check things in the morning I think i'm in the clear now, I hope. Thanks for the help and support. Just having people to share it with helps my nerves. I was freaking out a bit at first. Lesson's learned. When we can learn from our mistakes it makes it better or at least easier
