I got a new tank set up and my alk is a little low 7dkh, at 1.025 salinity. My RODI water at 1.025 is 7dkh with aqua forest reef salt. I’m slowly dosing alk over a few days to increase it to 9dkh. Is this ok?

Yes, that should be fine for most corals. Just curious, have you tested your base alk and calcium with Aquaforest salt mix?I got a new tank set up and my alk is a little low 7dkh, at 1.025 salinity.

I’ll just dose my salt mix with alk so it matches my tankI think you may want to consider using a salt that mixes Alk closer to 9 where you're trying to hit.
Depending on the size of your system and water change, you may be reducing the Alk and have to compensate by adjusting your dosing to get back up the previous level after every water change.
