Just wondering what everyone does during a water change day. i turn my dosing pumps off for the day but is it necessary? Tank is gonna be mostly sps.
 
I've noticed on my past two water changes, I've bumped up my alk by not altering my dosing. My display runs at 8dKH and my salt has mixed to around 9.5. The last two weekends, I've done my water changes a few hours before my dosing pump doses and I've noticed an increase in my dKH the next morning. It's definitely something I'm going to account for in the future.

I test my water after a water change and decide if I need to dose or not.

If you run a tank at 8 dkh just get reg salt like io or reg Red Sea salt and just buffer it alittle

How different are your systems running numbers compared to your mixed saltwater numbers?
