should I stop maintaining my parameters with TM all for reef?

UPDATE:

so I did a 40% water change on my system. Brought all my levels down a little bit. The following day my dosing pump added the AFR. And now I’m seeing a slight spike in my levels. I will do another update here soon to let y’all know but so for we’re getting there I think!

All looks good xcpt Mg which needs a boost 1350-60.

I don't think alk at 11 dKH is "crazy", but if you wanted lower alk and still want higher pH, there are other ways to attain it, such as using a different alk additive, a CO2 scrubber, skimmer inlet plumbed to outside, etc.
