confuse about red sea slat pro

[kai hen]

I do water change once a week. 10%. alk raise.6 each time. I am afraid of one day will raise to 11or more. Should I change the salt？

Test the salt batch before you dump it into the tank see if it’s what Red Sea says it should be. Test that Vs your tank. If the numbers don’t make sense maybe your test kit is off.

Yeah definitely test your newly mixed water before. Red Sea coral pro salt usually mixes to like 11 or 12 Dkh. If you think that’s too much of a fluctuation for your tank you could switch to the Red Sea blue bucket salt.

Thank you guys. I will switch to ref sea blue bucket.

Or add a couple of Stoney corals or clam.
Then you’ll be dosing up....

Your tank will consume alkalinity at different rates so it could slowly raise with water changes since coral pro mixes high to begin with. If your targeting a specific number try to get a salt that mixes around the alkalinity your wanting. Maybe try the blue bucket instead.
