Alk level
Just out of curiosity. What's everyone running their tanks alk at? I have mine at 10.2. I am running a calcium reactor with magnesium also. What are you using to maintain your levels? Pics and description of coral growth and color would be nice to see at all the different levels. Thanks everyone happy reefing. Let's try and not slam everyone for where they have their levels at. Every one has their own preferences.

I had mine off the scale(15+) when using 8.4 to raise the ph. Everything looked healthy at that point. It's about 10 now but ideally want it down to 9 with a ph of over 8

Around 7 to as high as 8. I shoot for around 7.5 but it seems to get used up fast some days.

I'm currently at 10.9 and I'm growing algae pretty good at that level
 No corals in the tank at the moment.

8.5 dKh, I seem to have the best color in my SPS at that level, perhaps not the fastest growth, but the best color.
