High KH and acros?

[20gallonreefer000]

I run my KH around 11.5. I've heard that acros don't do well with it too high. Is this only when nutrients are low, or is 11.5 too high in general? I'm hoping to get some relatively hardy acros tomorrow as I've had success with 2 different species. I run my nitrates around 20 and phosphates are pretty high around 1ppm(don't have any issues with algae, so figured might as well leave it). Any input is appreciated :)

Your alk is in the upper portion of the recommended alk range for a reef tank
(8 to 12). As long as you keep your nutrients high also which I see is what you’re doing and you have no nuisance algae issues, you should be fine.

Thank you very much.
