Help!!!....Alkalinity To High

[joefish]

Opps!!...I put to much buffer in. I have a Red Sea test kit doe's anyone else use the same one?? It's always showed normal, now showing high should I leave it alone and let come down on it own or should I lower it right away?? What is the best way to get it down??....Thanks Joe.

I would do a small water change. Nothing too drastic so you dont shock anything. I'll come down by itself. Just dont add any more alk and you tank should use it all up. Does anything look stressed?

The colors on my SPS corals don't look to be a** brite, that is way I started doing all my tests of the water and the alk is to high. So would a high alk cause that??
