I currently use Red Sea Coral Pro salt which has a dkh of 11.5. I started using All For Reef on my 25 gallon mixed reef tank which I'm assuming has a dkh around 7.5 ~ 8.5. Is it worth the cost of raising the dkh of the All For Reef by addition of alkalinity? Or should I start using Red Sea's blue bucket (which has a dkh of 7.7)? I have a 160 gallon box of each salt.
I only ask because Red Sea recommends Coral Pro for mixed reef tanks that aren't dominated by SPS. I have 5 SPS frags compared to the around 20 - 25 LPS and softies growing in my tank. Most of the softies are already colony size compared to the LPS which still haven't grown much over the 2 - 7 months depending on which one. Ultimately looking for what would be cost effective for good growth.
Hopefully this is the last part of me finalizing my dosing
