Waterbox salt Vs. Refsea salt

[eqbal9947]

Hey guys, I was thinking of switching up to Waterbox salt, apparently it’s good for clarity and mixes faster.
for me it would also be cheaper by 30 CAD a bucket but I would get 160 gallons compared to red seas 175 gallons of mix.
Only thing was the DK of waterbox being 8 I know it’s higher than sea levels but seems low compared to redsea by a large margin.
What do guys think

Red Sea Red Sea Salt (blue bucket) typically yields a bit higher alkalinity - generally above 8.5 dKH. Red Sea Coral Pro Salt (black bucket) is even higher at around 10.5-11 dKH.

Yeah. I use the black bucket.
My question is if the Alk from like 11 compared to 8 is acceptable and would it stunt coral growth

I used the Red Sea black bucket for about 6 months but switched to Tropic Marin when I upgraded to a karger system.
