Because the biggest culprit is Mg.

I'm not doing reactors because I can't find media (e.g. ARM) consistently and in a reliable supply. I do love the idea of a kalk reactor again, but I'd have to build one because I can't find anyone who sells them large enough or would custom make me one for a reasonable price.

The two part dosing for dKH and Ca is pretty minor. I only dose 1g of dKH (Soda Ash) per day. Ca is more like 1g over 4-5 days. Mg though its 4g/day since last week Thursday. The Mg consumption in my tank is ridiculous and it seems to be ramping up again.
