I see two options for ca/alk
Buy something like a trident which doses based on testing
OR
Just set doser to dose a continuous amount of ca/alk, always the same amount continuously.
I love simplicity and testing can produce false readings occasionally so I really like the second super simple continuous option. I guess my real question is:
How often/common are alk swings when just dosing continuously? If they are uncommon I do not see why something like a trident would be worth it. With a stable continuous dose am I really going to crash my tank? Of course with cont dosing I will also test and can make changes, just those changes wont be automatic. I feel I have more control here and can verify critical levels with a second test before changing ca/alk dosing. Thanks everyone!
