In this video, I check-in on a reactor along with some concern with the slight increase in alkalinity to 10.4dKH.  My normal alkalinity range is from 8.4 thru 9.8 so 10.4dKH is yellow flag.  I've spiked the alkalinity as high as 11s in my reef aquarium before by accident.

After cleaning the skimmer cup, I adjusted the skimmer to skim more dry restricting the air intake overnight along with my midweek Red Sea reef colors A/B/C/D manual dosing for now.  This week I dosed 2ml each of the reef colors.

usual feeding; alkalinity is tested twice per day
