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.

wow I went to bed and you guys have taught me a lot here! not to sure why the alk is high, it always has been, with lower CA. hopefully it balances out

Here is a thread on Reef Central where people discus the effect of high alkalinity with different setup. It is interesting to read about all these people experiences:

Daniella is right about low nutrients and high alkalinity, but that is more of an issue with ultra low nutrients when carbon dosing. That's why you see Zeovit recommending 7 dKH.

For the newbies, carbon dosing is not the carbon you put in the filter.
