What does everyone keep their ALK levels at

[epleeds]

I recently found out that my level was really low. I started dosing 2 part (the ALK part) and have gotten it up to 8.0. Just wondering what everyone keeps their levels at, I was going to stay between 8.0 and 8.5

 

My calcium is up at 480 and all my other parameters are where they need to be. Except I don't know what MAG is, since i have not been to the store to get the test kit.

 

thanks..

I like to keep mine in the 8-10 range.

9 or 9.5

I keep it between 8 and 10dkh and the calcium usually around 360-380ppm.

I keep Alk around 10. Calcium between 420 and 440.

i kept mine at 7dkh in my previous setup while running NeoZeo and saw no adverse effects.I've come to realize that its not so much the number that matters but the stability of it.I've also seen my friends tank run at 5/6dkh and his corals grew like weeds.

yea, mine was at around 3/4, now that i have raised it, the colors are even better. now i just need to remember to dose every morning till i get myself a doser...

10 dKH

Alk is usually at 10-11dkh and 480 calc.

sps 9-12

lps 8-12

 

I have had my systems alk climb to 14 or 15 dKH when weve sold alot of stock, but the only problem I saw was that the pumps seem to calcify more quickly.
