tinkering for a bit with both is ok at first but if your using an equal measurement dosing product like 2 or 3 part then youll eventually need to set both the same.


as they say dose based on alk numkbers not calcium numbers. so test alk daily for a while and calcium once or twice a week and find what both needs are

Thanks. I am letting the alk return to normal levels as it was going up with dosing then did a water change and that raised it even higher.
