ABOUT how much of the 2 part additive (Randy's recipe #1) a day should I have to add to my system of 80-85 gallons with all softies except for a derasa clam the size of a soft ball and a small hydronophora (I think thats what its called...hydro something) frag?
I have found that if I dont dose about a cup of both parts a day, that the alkalinity goes down to 7 DKH, then 6. The ca goes down with the alkalinity. When I add both parts, there is no percipitation, but it seems as if a cup of both parts a day is too much? The magnesium levels are at 1400 ppm. The PH gets as low as 7.8 at night and as high as 8.0 at day. I have ruled out testing errors or bad tests for all parameters.
