That would be my guess. I battled with low Ca for the longest time, dosing and dosing, nothing worked until I got my Mg levels up, then maintaining the Ca wasn't a problem at all.

Thanks. I think I'll get to work on those Mg levels immediately.

Try dipping with a half dose of TMPCC in the future, and doing it twice. I find it staves off RTN. I have also experienced RTN when dipping at the recommended levels.
