Just for poops n giggles, maybe try dosing calcium during the day and alkalinity during the night with at least 1 hour between dosing. This should be able to rule out precipitation.

poops make me giggle. I've done a 9% WC tonight, started to correct Ca value, alk is good for ulns @7.8 & dialed both back to 1.3ml per gal. If this doesn't work, then maybe I'll set the doser manually...but that would be alot of effort on my part.

My 120 gal takes about a gallon a month so if my math is correct it's just over 1ml/gal/ day
