No special dosing
Just esv 2 part

I do dose kz flatworm stop

Is your ESV 2-part dosing in equal amounts? I use the same, but feel like my calcium is creeping up. Thanks

It’s been equal but the calcium value goes up and down a little. I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you hit start hitting 500.

Thanks. I hit 465 Salifert.

I too use ESV -- buckets of it -- and tend to run high Ca. I also run a kalkwasser stirrer on my basement system. Cuts my ESV dosing by half and maintains Ph well.

And yeah, my PE is meh, but growth is good.

I dose 3.5 liters of kalkwasser, and 30ml of both esv 2 part. My calcium is usually 380 while maintaining 7.5-7.7dkh. I manually adjust when I remember to test. So the opposite with my system FWIW
