Ok I KNEW BETTER than to do this, but somehow managed to accomplish an act of stupidity. I’m going out of town a week so I set up a big ato container w kalk. I run kalk in my ato. I come down later and notice, yup you guessed it.... a white tank. The ato had a syphon going into the tank. My ph was almost 9:/
I KNEW I needed a syphon break in that line but it totally slipped my mind!
As of this morning oh is back down. Only god knows what the alk is, and I’ve corrected the salinity. Fortunately only about 5 g of ato got pushed in before I caught it. Everything looks ok at this point almost 12 hours later aside from all the kalk dust on everything inside.
So kids.... if you set up a new ato, make sure to test for a syphon
