its better to have a balance then to have high numbers and nsw water is like dkh of 7.5 and ca 400 ish i think so ur bang on there u will get better colours from a lower kh reading of around 7 i have found with zeo but ull see more of a benefit from ur potassium and magnesium readings with sps

I would be happy with those numbers. It all depends on how much farting around you want to do to get them higher. Personally I aim for about 7-8dkH alkalinity and about 400-425ppm for calcium.
As bluetang says you may benefit more from your potassium and magnesium readings. I know I always keep my mg at 1350ppm and when I boosted my potassium to the proper levels I was seeing some pretty awesome colors.
