Question about Alk and Calcium... Again.

[PirateLove]

So I am very confused. Last week my alkalinity was dropping and calcium was staying the same. Now this week I am loosing like 50 points a day of Calcium and Alk has not changed. How do people have two part dosing systems if one stays the same and the other drops?

Measure your levels multiple times and establish a daily consumption rates of each. Then add those values daily. Using the added. Al hoagie is a big help. Test frequently under this plan and see if levels reach acceptable levels and stabilize. Before doing this, get your magnesium levels in the 1300 ppm range and keep it there - this has an effect on the Alk & ca stability.

Also try to check around the same time everyday. The levels change through the day
