Achieve desire trace element before TM AFR

[lamjiasheng]

What i know so far is
- To adjust trace element to my desired value before using TM AFR
- TM AFR is just a SUPPLEMENT for daily lost, not use for raising dKH

My current setup is 25G with dKH of 6.1
My plan is to raise dKH with AF KH Plus to target 8 dKH. That's around 2 dKH increase.
After reading the product description the math just doesn't make sense to me.
"10ml KH plus raise 0.25 dKH; Max daily dose is 20ml; Do not raise more than 1dKH per 24 hours"
How am i suppose to raise 2 dKH if i'm limited at max 0.5 dKH supplement a day.

At my country theres no access to all the product from BRS. Only commercial product from big company. No 2 part product i see from youtube.

Or just use 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda from the kitchen dissolved in RODI water and added to the tank over 2 days.

I think there may be a language issue, but that advice generally does not relate to trace elements (things like iron, copper, vanadium, zinc, etc.), but rather to major ions (which by definition cannot be trace elements) such as calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity.
