Coral pro salt

[GHOSTLY]

So the alk for what I want is 11.5. I keep a low nutrients system anywhere from 0 to 2 nitrate. Would this be good for a mixed reef?

I think Fritz Blue RPM mixes Alk high in the 10s, 11s..... I believe thats why so many SPS Reefers absolutely swear off Fritz as a brand they'd never use

I personally like 10 11 alk but for a low nutrients system is this salt ok

Interesting vid if you have 25min to spare watching it

Typically low measurable nutrient systems run a 7-8 Alk. Doing a 10% water change with an11-12 salt isn’t going to bump you too much. I would be more concerned about what may be in salts like Red Sea because they are harvested and algae’s, diatoms,.... can live even after the water has evaporated the salt

 

[ReefBeta]

A heads up, be careful at running high alkalinity with low nutrients. It tend to be more likely to encounters troubles like burn tip and color turn pale. Not saying it's not doable, but better keep an close eye on it.

I'm actually watching that right now. Should I lower it by dosing calcium? My nitrate is around 2 right now maybe 1.
