You may need to adjust your reactor so that it maintains the 8 dKH and does not climb back up again.

Sorry, not a kalk reactor, a Ca reactor. I am going to try to get my alk down, but typically it has been closer to 8 dkH as per Zeo instructions. I've kinda let it slide a bit lately, due to lack of interest
I almost want to build a new tank, and transfer the corals over, then smash this one -lol
