Two buckets salt, one good one bad, and this Turbo Calcium).
Steve,
I want to get the Ca part way up first. I think some of my LPS are suffering from the 215 ppm Ca.
Thanks guys and cheers  , |
you can do a single addition to your Mg to bring it up.. not that much of a change.. I would for get the 8tsp/day thing and go 1 cup the day after you bring up your Mg, and the next day after that add another .6666666666 of a cup
or if you are concerned about raising Ca by about 140ppm in 1 hour then just do 1/2 a cup a day ... I have raised Ca over 200ppm in one shot several times and not had a problem..
If you add the 1 cup.. do a Ca test the next day about the same time and recalculate you measurments first.. as I will guess you Ca will jump up about 20 to 30 PPm just from bringing your Mg up to 1350 to 1400
Steve
