I recently bought the Hana alk. I've recently increase alk dose to bring it up to 9 for the past month. The Hana alk reading was constantly around 9. However I gradually lost my corals. First the chalice, sps then now my favorite kryptonite frogspawn. I was suspected that alk was the culprit so I test alk using salifert test kit and my reading is 14. I'll definitely do water change to bring the alk down. Is there any other ways to bring alk down beside water change? Hana testings kits killed me and I don't want to use it again. Please help!!!!!!thanks
