I wouldn't dose anything for a bit, let them do eat up what's there but watch it so the calcium, mag, and all don't get too low. Get it to where you want to keep it and stay there]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:19:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490830&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490830 <![CDATA[SPS BLEACHING, pics added : everything is doing fine.. i was...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490823&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490823 Author: rwgoose

everything is doing fine.. i was talking to builderofdreams.. and from what he was saying, it was the huge shock of the jump that killed them... they will adjust and use up the alk in time.. now its a waiting game.. i have been considering dosing some cal to eat up the alk as well.. any thoughts??]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:59:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490823&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490823 <![CDATA[SPS BLEACHING, pics added : sadness!

tap water has dissolved minerals in it that will add to your alkalinity. You need to use RO water for your salt mix. That's why it was still at 14 even after you changed the water.]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:00:35 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490711&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490711 <![CDATA[SPS BLEACHING, pics added : i use prime and tap when i mix...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490708&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490708 Author: rwgoose

were you mixing your salt with tap water? If so, that's more than likely theme reason for high alk.]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:11:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490673&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490673 <![CDATA[SPS BLEACHING, pics added : Roy , just bought a new bucket...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59647&PID=490646&title=sps-bleaching-pics-added#490646 Author: Akira
