Ok, check and add 70 ml of it. Up the dosing to 50ml of each component for next 24 hours starting from tonight. Leave 1 hour gap between Mg plus dosing and first set of dosing. We are almost getting there just couple of days possibly.
 
Do you have normal MgCl2???
 
Ok dump that remaining Mg plus it should work. Scale up the dose to 50 ml each component for next 24 hours from tonight. Keep a hour gap between the Mg plus and first dosing.
 
Yeah i have about half a small container of the af mag flakes that is used to mix solutions as well. So here is what i have
43 mls mg plus
2500 mls component 3 mix with trace minerals in it
and some aquaforest mg flakes.
 
First thing component 3 does not contain any Mg so forget that.

Second add the remaining Mg plus.

Third make 20gm/litre Mg solution from Mg flakes and add 200 ml of that too.
 
Sorry your right i was thinking of solution 1 that has mg and ca. That would have been bad.

Lol don't mess up now...
Just dose those and you should be good. The little issue is somehow your system is eating up Mg more than Ca and thats delaying the balance but we will reach there soon.
 
Still up the doser to 50 mls right?
Yes or else your Alk will fall and we dont want that. It will still fall a bit but not a lot. But dont forget to add all those Mg.
 
Ok thanks i will let you know how it goes tomorrow evening. Thanks for the help.
 
Here are my readings for tonight.
Alk = 7.5
Ca = 465
Mg = 1410
 
Great....do you have KH plus from AF?
 
No i will not be able to get any till tomorrow late afternoon. I do have 800 ml of that 20g / liter mag that you had me mix last night.
 
Yeah sorry read message wrong i do have af Kh plus.
Lol... I messed you up too much with all these dosing stuffs. But I think you understand now that we are almost there. Whats the total water volume?
 
Tank is 160 gallons with 30 gallon sump. I have lots of rock i usually treat it like a 150 gallons and it seems to work ok
