A couple weeks ago something in my system went haywire which caused my alk to fluctuate. I made some changes to the amount of comp 123 I'm dosing and finally got back to a stable 7.6 Alk dosing 81mls of comp#2.

While I was trying to dial in ALK, calcium went up to 480 so I stopped dosing comp 1 and 3 for 24 hours until calcium fell to 435 and then began dosing comps 1 and 3 to match the 81mls of comp#2.

Is this the correct method to get Comps 123 back in balance and stable?
 
Looks good to me as you were never low on those primary 3 parameters.
 
Get the alk where you need it to be, then get Ca and Mg where they need to be.
