thanks for the spreadsheet Biggs... on another note though... I believe that my calcium is a bit high.. last I checked it was at close to 500.. I didn't even check my alkalinity or mag... but I was wondering if you know of a way to drop the big 3 slowly... could I stop dosing two part for like a day or two? I will test all 3 tommorow and see what I find... did a WC today..

Mag drops very slowly on its own

It it were me, I would check the alk. If its normal, just slow down the calcium dose. Maybe put a 1/4 of what you normally put. Depends also on how quickly the calcium went up. Did it take a week, month, 2 months. Its important to figure out how much per day keeps it stable.

All the of the big 3 works together also. So, if you got higher calcium, you may need higher mag to keep it there without fluctuating much.

****On another note, if you think something off.....try another test kit.

sweet thanks

your welcome

I have API test kits... had I known of their inconsistency I would not have purchased in the beginning... tested water today... calcium is at 380... and mag was too high to read.. alk was at 8.1

soo I don't know if my initial test was way off or what.. but I will do another WC come the weekend and hopefully everything balances out... I don't dose for mag either btw..
