I have been researching Alkalinity levels in SPS dominant reef tanks and the numbers are all over the place. So I decided to poll R2R members and see where you like to keep your Alkalinity in your Reef tanks. Feel free to comment on what type of tank, salt, and method of Alkalinity supplementation you use so that I can get a good idea of your methods.
I look forward to learning from you all.

My tank is new only up since end of August. Currently dealing with zero nutrients and don't really have any SPS in there yet to speak of.
