look at your Ca and look at your Alk. you had a percipitation event if thoes numbers are corect. 700 Ca is way way to high and will percipatate out your alk. and it can work the other way also.

you Mg is out to lunch as well it should be about 1350.

Being a carless doser is the bigest problem here. you need to learn to test and dose on a regular basis and not dose if it is not needed.

I would recomend testing befor you dose to determin how much you need to dose. keep a log and record this and eventualy you will be able to do daily dosing and only test once a week to make adjustments to your amounts. just adding stuff for the sake of adding can cause big problems and affect the stability of your tank, and most of all cost you a lot of extra money.
