funnily enough tho i read that RHF doesnt dose his 2 part recipe. He uses Kalkwasser. That is also what i use for my tank and i find it even easyer than 2 part dosing.

I just did some tests for the first time since last week & the dosing levels are going up again to CA 144ml per day & Alk 138. MG is @ 1350, in the 3.5 months I've had this doser online I've had to increase the amounts fairly substantially almost every week, & I've yet to dial it back. I hope that maybe these new #'s may level it off for a while.
