For example, there is really no need to have you alk at 12dkh. Natural saltwater is not that high. I would suggest that you check the magnesium though. It does tend to run a little low on some of the batches of IO from time to time.

I have read some things saying a balanced high end readings of alk, calcium and mag can increase growth in corals. However from my readings it seems the largest part of it is balanced. However I have not see the research backing up these claims so I do not know if it is true or not.
