Kwirky - I follow the Randy Holmes-farley's 2 part recipe. It's 2 1/2 cups of CaCl (Dowflakes) for 1 Gal of water, 2 1/4 cups of Baking Soda for every 1 gal of water. I don't really know how much this translates into grams. I use his chemistry calculator as a base for dosing. But to tell you the truth...after a while you will just dump it in and adjust more for Ca or ALK depending on the depletion rate...in my opinion the depletion rate is never balanced..you will deplete one faster than the other..in my case ALK drops faster than my Ca levels so I dose more of the baking soda. When I started..after 2-3 months I went by feel and only test once a month now.
