SeaChem Fusion 1 and 2

[Scubajoe1]

So I am dosing with seachem fusion 1 and 2. According to the directions they should be dosed in equal amounts and you should be good. Well I am dosing 40 mL/day for the alkalinity and it it staying constant at 8.0 dKH. I had stopped dosing Ca to get it to 425. I started the doser at 10 mL /day and in two days it was at 445. Does not make a lot of sense to me. Anyone care to make a guess as to what is going on? I do not see any precipitation around the heaters or in the sump. I do a 2.5 gallon water change every other day mostly to replenish trace elements. Comes out to 20% a month. Nitrate 0.25, Phosphate 0.03, Ca 445 now and Alk 8.0.

Thanks

Joe

Despite their assertions they are not balanced additives. This has been addressed elsewhere on the web by reputable sources. I use much less calcium than alk and maintain correct levels. I do like this brand as my tank has responded well versus others I've used but they are not balanced. No biggie just read your levels and adjust accordingly.
