2part solutions have different concentrations of each so its not like we are adding the same amount of alk and cal when dosing equal parts.

Never let your alk get bellow 6.5dkh. The base of your SPS will STN at lower levels.

I try and keep my alk @ 7.5-8.0dkh to prevent tip burn in my ULNS.

I use fluval 3ion for ca/mg/str. And reef builder for alk. No STN. Growth is good. Just not sure why alk drops So fast. Ill check again today since its wc day
