No water change buddy. Keep it on hold.

Ok I was waiting to hear from you before I it did the change. So are good there I did not do the water change. Should i test alk and ca now or wait till normal time in about 3 hrs?

Anirban · Mar 25, 2017

I will say normal time today....enjoy the evening without water change

ken77 · Mar 25, 2017

My alk is 9.24 tonight and the Ca is 440. I could get used to this no Sat afternoon water change.

Anirban · Mar 25, 2017

Lol....no you can not. But once you are fixed then may be once in a couple of weeks. But you know nothing beats water change.
Today dose 50 ml of Ca and everything same. We are getting there slowly.

ken77 · Mar 25, 2017

Cool thanks. I am usually pretty good about not missing a water change.

ken77 · Mar 25, 2017

If we dose the same 50 mls tomorrow night i will be out of the af Ca plus with no way to get more till Monday evening. Can i mix some using the af Ca like i would for componet 1 and just not add the strong components to it?

Anirban · Mar 25, 2017

Surprise....we are not going to dose tomorrow. I think tomorrow the Ca should be at 450-460ppm and the Alk will be possibly close to 9. So, we will stop dosing and sit for few days to watch them coming down slowly where we want.
