I will admit I read most of this but not all so forgive me if this is in here. I've always tried to keep my alk at 10ish Dkh.....I find that everything does much better. I prefer to have my calcium on the low end. When my Alk got below 9 my Trach brain would not open during the day (not SPS I know). Since then I have tried to maintain my alk at a higher level.....also seems to keep any algae down (maybe the higher more stable Ph?). I JUST as of yesterday added a Kalk reactor so hopefully that will level everything out? I am sort of new to SPS but have never lost one......probably over 9 months or so....I have never seen RTN or STN. Just wanted to add my 2 cents.....also I have never tried higher calcium and lower alk for any period of time.
