I used buffer to get it back down within range,now it's wait and see how bad the damage will be :( . Things slimed a lot but believe it or not there's a bunch of stuff opening/opened. Maybe they're taking their last :( . Great link thanks.

Kalk overdoses are fairly common. I am glad that you have not lost any of your occupants. ;)

You may want to take corrective measure to protect your system from another overdose. Using a dosing pump that will only administer the dose a little more than what your tank needs will help this from happening again. Some hobbyists use timers on their dosing pumps to reduce the amount of kalk water that can be applied at a given time.
