Alk Trouble

[SC Dave]

I've been struggling to get my Alk back up. I tested today and readings are: Mg 1455, Alk 6.4, and Ca 485. I have 265 gallons of water between the tank and sump. I've been dosing Kent Mag once every 5-6 days, 180 ml. I was dosing B-Ionic two part every day, 100 ml, but have bumped it to 120 ml. two the last three days. I have chalice, frog-spawn, harry mushrooms, duncans, monti's, rock flower, leather, all are super good right now and growing like crazy. Is the Alk too low and why can I not get it to rise?

What test kit are you using? If everything is looking good and growing like crazy, I wouldn't waste to much time chasing numbers as long as everything is happy and thriving you should be fine
