How to drop Alkalinity and keep it stable?

Just checked J&L's water with my elos alk kit and their water is in perfect 8.5 Dkh !
So my test is ok.
I guess regular small water changes will be my thing to do over next few weeks...

Just shut shut down the reactor until your alk drops. If your calcium drops too much you can add Calcium Chloride to raise the level. It's amazing your pumps haven't seized with that high of an Alk level.
