Thanks for chiming in Randy. Would you consider the 7.65-7.9 range as too low and something that can potentially kill my SPS?
By tomorrow I will have a better picture on how the Kalk has moved this range upwards. If still. It enough I can easily bring my refugium back online but I really would rather avoid it because it usually brings me more problems than benefits.
I doubt it "kills" most SPS if alkalintiy is adequate (7 dKH or higher), but I think they will grow faster and possibly be healthier at higher pH. I'd try to keep pH 7.8 as the minimum.
