Wanted to see how many people are using this stuff with SPS systems. I switched a while back and noticed good color and growth. The only thing I noticed was a high ALK/KH (12dkh). I had to dial back the doser and still trying to figure how much I need to dose.
What's everyone ALK/Kh at and how much are you dosing?

Thanks

Dom

I use Red Sea Coral Pro. I switched over from Reef Crystals a while back. I love how it mixes without any residue since I always had some weird stuff floating around in the RC. As you mention though the ALK is quite high but I've never had any problems keeping mine around 12dkh anyway.

My water is usually low nutrient so I switched from RSCP because of the high Alk and currently trying the regular RS salt.

I used it for a short time... Didn't like the high alk ... Now I'm using D-D magnesium pro and love it.. Alk mixes at 9-9.3 and I keep my alk at 9 so water changes don't mess with alk...

I use reg Red Sea while running a calcium reactor. I didn't use the Red Sea pro because of the high alk. I like my alk at 8.5

I did, but switched to the blue bucket this time. Seems fine for what I need, didn't need the higher all at this point.

I did like how fast it mixed, but don't like the need to use it right away after mixing.
