Yeah most of them did, very fast growing, mind you they were also using 10000k halides, so everything was kinda dull.

Absolutely. It was the norm, 12 - 14dKh, at 9 or 10 we would panick :). Full SPS tanks that ran for years with no unexplained losses.
My tank now is around 10 or 11, I'm not losing any corals..

That tank ran 12 - 14 for years, no issues and the corals did ok growing.

Then if corals grow better and healthier at kh 12, why don't you all maintain your KH at 12 then? 14 is even better :)

Mine now sits around 10 or 11 on it's own, and I am no longer inclined to fight with it. My corals grow fine now with me doing nothing, so why mess with it?

I'm not sure why you're so opposed to it. If your alk is 7 and it works for you, great. If your alk is 1 and it works for you, still great. :)

10 - 11 dKh only works on tanks 6 feet or longer I thought?

Wait, I thought this was only true if you were running Radions?
