You just have to keep in mind that with very low level of nutriment it is a risk to have RTN or STN when you have such high alkalinity. It is not safe to keep your alkalinity so high.

It's high just for fun, as far as I can tell. It's always been high. I even run zeo and have very little nutrient. I supplement with a Ca reactor and use RBS salt. It's been like that for 16 months, so I'm not too worried about the perceived dangers of high alk. I did read on the Internet that it's bad, but you can't believe everything on the Internet. Nasty place, that Internet.
Only RTN I've had was yesterday, and that probably had a lot to do with the frag falling into my torch coral
