Default OMG i screwed up...

So i was trying to adjust my Alkalinity by turning my alk dosing pump on for about 20 mins to raise it by about 0.5, problem... i left it on for over an hour....

I quickly did a water change as soon as i realized what i had done as i had a fresh batch made. So did about a 20% water change that got PH back under control, however.... My Also is now reading at 9.8 up from 8.0.

Should I be expecting a major crash now???

Lesson learned... Dont be lazy and just add some alk by mixing my sodium carbonate and rodi in a proper ratio if i need to raise it and leave the dosing pumps as they are.

Anyways let me know if i can do anything else to rectify the situation.
