Nope, I’ve never dosed anything at all, I’ll try and find another salt mix but this the reef crystals have been doing really well

What sort of alk levels did you have prteviously?

Previously, I had levels of around 13-14 and calcium levels of 480, and now there at around 14-15 and 550, nothing has changed though, I even added my first “hard” coral in hopes that they would suck out some cal and alk but they didn’t

OK, I'd definitely look for a low alk salt mix. Or drop the alk in the reef Crystals before using it for water changes.
