Can anyone recommend a solid Dosing kit?

[Ace1]

Seems that my kents A&B havent quite equalled mmy numbers out

Manesium = 1130
Strontium = 7 range
Calcium = 425
alk = 2.97 day and 3.66 tonight
dkh = 8.3 today and 10.2 night (had to use buffer to raise it, was at 2.2!!)
ph = 8.2-8.4

i need something that will balace all these out.

thanx for you recomendations

Ace, dKH is just a measure of alkalinity. All you need to do is use more of both parts of the AB to maintain your alkalinity. I'd shoot for 3.5 meq/l or so. You could also use a bump in your Magnesium level. That will help to maintain alkalinity as well because it limits abiotic precipitation.

To properly maintain your alkalinity and calcium you need to find out how much your tank is consuming in a 24hr period. Once you know that you can plug the numbers into the calculator (below). It will tell you exactly how much 2-part to dose each day.
