well...until this bucket's gone it'll have to just do. my numbers are in the vicinity of 7.95-8.1ish and i'm no longer dripping kalk as i'm just too lazy . i'm not into chasing numbers either so...i will go back to kent salt as i recall it had good Ca and alk parameters for reef tanks...

I use oceanpure pro & my ph is a steady 8.2. I buffer to 8.3dkh I would like it higher but everthing is happy in my tank, & if left it would take awhile to drop passed 8. My calc is always @ 440ppm as well. I do about a 20g water change each month in a 230g with a 60g sump. I dont use kalk or have a calc reactor, I dont have the need so far but it would be nice just to be able to keep water more stable & add trace elements. Every system is diffrent, diffrent coarls, lighting, even water etc, so in one system one kind of salt works great, but that same salt may not do well in another. I tryed a couple diffrent salts including reef crystals but I had to add calc. Sorry to ramble just my to cents
