For those that decided to purchased the regular Red Sea Salt, are you guys shooting for a ULNS or do you simply prefer to run ALK on the lower end of the scale? I just purchased the Pro version and I'm now planning to bump up my tanks ALK so that it matches the actual salt. I figured the salt will allow me to does less 2 part, plus it's currently 25% off on DR. F & S including free shipping.

Both for me, I'm running bio pellets so I try to keep my params close to natural levels. I like to keep my alk below 9 anyways, just what seems to work for me.

I'm not currently running a ULNS, but I prefer an alk of around 9. It gives me a bit more flexibility in either direction if something goes wrong.

I am pretty sure I have seen it on dr foster and smith, nice thing is that they do free shipping on orders over $49 which includes salt.

pro almost destroyed my tank. Will never buy again, reps were rude. IO gets the job done and is usally cheaper.

Can you please elaborate?

The only real concern I have, is since I normally run my ALK around 9 DKH and the pro salt hovers around 12-14 DKH, doing a 5 gallon water change on a 35 gallon system can be a little risky. I'm planning on increasing my ALK to roughly 12 DKH to help avoid any issues. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a system more stable with higher ALK & Mag levels?
