I would say yes, I try to keep mine around 10dkh, what kind of corals do you plan to keep? I run mine a little higher, the sps seem to love it.

[andrenym00]

id like to keep mine higher as well. should i put buffer in top off water?

Average for a wild reef is 2.5 meq/l or 7 to 8 dKH So you are fine. slightly higher is recommended for the aquarium tho. The trend lately seems to be a lower dKH than what most people have been shooting for (around 10 dKH), I think it is starting from Germany...
