Do you have a good post I could read on ant this?The really basic answer is major components that Stony corals(as well as some algae, inverts, etc) need to grow. Alkalinity also acts as a buffer that both raises and stabilizes PH. In freshwater for examples African cichlids you add an alkalinity buffer also to increase pH and create "hard" water.
Obviously there is a lot more to it but that's what I would consider a basic answer to why we care about them in saltwater tank
