huh...I was talking to nanomano, not to you. You know the risk of running with high alkalinity and low nutriment, then you do what you want
I know it's all over the net but I beleive it because I have very experienced people telling me about it and I do beleive them because some of them have 30 years of experience in saltwater and a lot of them with corals.
I also know a lot of people who did have RTN and STN all the time running alkalinity higher than 10 with low nutriment, and that resolved when they lower the alkalinity.
You might just be lucky
It is a risk, so once people know about it, they do what they want.

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 |
