For me, both high (>10) and low alk (<7) can be problematic. Low alk especially.

I also have noticed times when it seemed dosing "balanced" amounts of alk and ca wasn't yielding reasonable numbers. I used to have this 24" back to front of tank Idaho Grape Monti cap. that was a ginormous calcium sponge.

And adjusting dosing to accommodate ever changing populations and growth of stony corals can provide additional challenge.
