    Reef and coral safe buffer

    I guess my thought is that ph isn't really a parameter I think about manipulating directly, it's sort of a side effect of other aspects of your tank...

    Reef and coral safe buffer

    SPS needs

    Dixiedog's 75 ... almost there!

    72 F in winter with no T5s running?

    Dixiedog's 75 ... almost there!

    Quick PPM double check Question

    12dkh is on the upper end of recommended alkalinity, as far as I've read. Here's one source for that, recommending 7-12dkh as a desirable range....
