Doser raised alkalinity from 5.3 to 9 dKH in 8 hours

Nothing happened.  No one in the tank cares.  

 

My consumption has been going through the roof lately, and I keep adjusting my dosing pump upwards, but the alk keeps falling.  Yesterday I had to go from 95 ppm to 150 ppm which is where I keep it.  The pump ran for a long time and overshot slightly to 160, but nothing seems to be affected.

Thats a good idea.  I will try to get some of the angles from shots I had taken in january to show growth.  It feels to me like it is becoming a solid wall of coral.  I gotta get smaller fish to fit between the gaps.  And for some reason a hulk milli frag I have had in there for more than a year just decided to make a play for some room after quietly encrusting forever.  Weird stuff.

Hopefully nothing will, but with SPS, sometimes it takes a while.

I agree with this. I made an alk mistake a long time ago and it took a week until I started to see tissue necrosis on a couple SPS. Since This was run through slow doser you should be ok. Frags in my experience are most at risk to fluctuation.
