When I say high I mean anything over 8.5 from my experience

I keep mine as close to 7.5 as possible while carbon dosing ( biopellets, vodka, etc)

Dammit a poll I can't vote in cuz I know nothing about bio pellets. But if anyone's interested I have a bag of Vertex bio pellets if anyone wants them for free. The bags opened though.

Yep, same plan (worry) here running ZEOvit.... I'm running 7.1-7.3, and the salt I'm using mixes to 8.0-8.2 (depending on the batch). Anything higher scares me, and would make me do very small water changes to be safe from an alk spike (but then worried about not replenishing enough elements)....... SO, yes, I did buy some ReefCrystals from BA this boxing day, however I bought much more Seachem ReefSalt, which I use 2-1 (Seachem -> RC) per change.
