So I am using natural seawater and have been manually dosing small amounts of tropic Marin all for reef to maintain around 7 dkh in my 120g mixed reef. I don’t have a huge amount of coral yet, but water changes aren’t quite keeping up, and I’ve just invested in a doser and bought aquaforest 123. My question is whether to keep my alk around the same level as my new water or not? I am a fisherman so I bring water home regularly and change it a lot, and I don’t see how to maintain an elevated dkh of say 8 or 9 if I am constantly adding nsw with a dkh of around 6.5-7. Will my corals benefit a lot by a higher dkh? And is there an easy way to maintain a higher alkalinity? Or is it safe to just maintain the level of the nsw? Sorry for the long post! And thanks in advance
