dKH for LPS

[fishchef]

Where is your alkalinity for LPS?

I've always kept my tanks param's near NSW regardless of coral types, so ~ 7.5 dKH for me, kept stable with dosing.

My salt blend stabilizes at 10/12 dKH. We have a large Bubble Coral that has not been happy and its been around for about a year. Some advice came my way with their 15 years experience and their alkalinity is generally around 14.

The usual recommended range is 7-11 dKH, but some people report problems with numbers at the high end of that range when dosing organic carbon.

I would say 8-10

[Sk8r]

I use 8.3

[snorvich]

I keep mine at 9.0 - 9.5

Mine tends to vary somewhere between 7-7.5 (API) Pretty much everything seems to do ok at this level.

Yes..I try to match NSW also as nobody has ever managed to explain why you should do otherwise. So I do about 3.0 meq/l
