I know this has been hashed out on forums ad nauseum, but is there a consensus on how quickly I can raise my levels?

sure your test isnt bunk? before going crazy with dosing maybe just check on another test or even two , i just lost alot of sps from this exact thing i know its a rookie move but we get comfortable with the tools we have and tend to think they work.

for me it was alk and while my elos was saying 6dkh my hanna had me at 9.8 so quite the diff ,double checked on a diff hanna and got 9.8. brought a water sample to the store and the elos had me at over 9dkh then as well...... of course i started upping my alk before i had a brain fart and realized i just pulled the most common mistake with odd numbers ever lol

both the high riuse in alk over a couple of weeks and the sudden drop while it fell naturally cause alot of stn and alk burn in the tips.

i had removed my sps to anopther system while it gets fixed.



good luck buddy
