I've had just plain bad luck with all my higher end sps. My alk did creep up to 8.5 and I run biopellets so may have burnt the tips. Back down and stable at 7.3 since switching my brand of 2 part.

Funny I switched from JL soda ash to big reef depot soda ash and my Alk has never been more stable. Also my Ph now runs between 8.15 and 8.3 where with JL soda ash it was constantly dipping down to 7.8.
