			 Tested my tank tonight.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	CA - 470 ppm alkalinity - 11.6 dKH Ph - 8.3 both using salifret. Is this ok (as I think alkalinity is high ) ?  |

			 Sounds fine. Some people are suggesting that 11.6 is a bit high for SPS, but others have run that level for a long time.

			 My Alk usually runs about 12 or 13, never had a problem with it, I do keep my Ca around ppm now.. for some reason I seam to get better growth on the corals than when it was higher.
