What I did with garlic was suggested to me by Doug Lowey, get those garlic pills from the the grocery/Shoppers Drug Mart/health-food-store/where-ever, and sqeeze those onto the food. Only thing is I found that, at least with the ones I used, the smell of garlic in the room after feeding was pretty strong. I'm not garlic'ing my fish food any more (the fish don't seem to mind, knock on wood!)

If I was lowering SG, what I'd do, is, keep the daily topup as kalk, but when I take a gallon of salt out, I'd replace that with fresh water (non kalk'd). Clarification: I am only referring to dropping your SG from 1.026 to 1.025. I don't know how much difference that .001 makes, but I thought 1.025 was the upper limit where you wanted your SG.
