High Alk

T-6 Driver · 03/08/2006, 09:45 PM

I went a little crazy adding Calcium Tech A+B supplements to my tank, now the alkalinity is at 12.7. Are there any effective ways to lower the alkalinity besides water changes?

thanks,

If that's 12.7 dKH, it's barely high at all and nothing to worry about. Just don't add anymore till it drops, which it will sooner or later.
