T thomas712 Guest Mar 2, 2003 #2 If we are talking Dkh then your 9.1 is fine, I have had mine has high as 14 Dkh, but try to keep it around 11 Dkh. Thomas

T thomas712 Guest Mar 2, 2003 #4 Anything between 8 and 12 is good. But maintain that cal around 450 Thomas
N newreefers Guest Mar 2, 2003 #5 I can't get my alk above 9.1, but my calc stays between 450 - 500. My mag runs around 1300. can't figure it out.

reeflooker Member Mar 2, 2003 #8 Hey newreefers, Where is your LFS in WBP. Is it worth a drive from Vero? Thanks - Reeflooker
N newreefers Guest Mar 2, 2003 #9 No, it's not worth the drive, the only thing I buy there is water. They are hugely overpriced!! I'm currently looking for a decent lfs in the area myself.
