it will be easier to see a trend over a week

ie my ca test kit reads by the 20 ppm

so on monday i may have 420 tuesday 420 and wednesday 400
over the week or 2 just divide the total by 7 or 14 days to give you a daily dosing amount

Ive done it a little different. I test (mine shows by .10), enter the values in here, under Tank Parameters), use the calculator, dose my amounts, test in 3-4 hours, this will show me if I am estimating my water volume correctly. If my levels are not where I want them, I make another adjustment. Basically, I want to get to a point where they are at (for me) 450, 9.3, 1350.

Then, I up my daily dose. by a little, according to how big a correction I had to make. It's not an exact science, but it works. Then, I keep with the dosing for a few days. Test again. If my levels are where they need to be, I keep dosing the same amount. If not, I'll make a correction dose, then up my daily dose again.

I hope this helps. writing it down makes it seem complicated...but it's not. LMK.
