Well, yesterday the Mg read 1320 ppm so I overshot my target a bit. This raised the Ca to 265 ppm. Alk yesterday was 9.6 dKH.
So I added 100g of Turbo Calcium.
Today's readings:
Mg 1350 ppm.
Alk 9.9 dKH.
Ca 265 ppm. Huh? 265? I added 100g of the stuff!! This is getting kinda weird. I was only joking about Kent forgetting to put calcium in the product!

One thing I should mention is I have been treating for Cyano with Chemi-Clean at the same time. I have done two 10% water changes, but only one of those water changes was after the 100g Turbo Ca addition. (One 10% change was yesterday before the Ca addition, and the other 10% change was this morning). Seems to me to be too much of a coincidence for that second 10% water change to keep the Ca at 265. Besides....the salt is supposed to have Ca in it also, right?

I'll be adding another 100g of Turbo Ca tonight, but as yet, I still have not seen this product do anything.

Cheers,
