Dosing B-Ionic Two Part Alk is Ok, Cal typically low

[TWT5011]

Hello,

I dose B-Ionic, equal amounts of CAL and ALK... my ALK stays pretty consistent, but the CAL tends to fall. I thought I was suppose to dose the same amount of CAL and ALK each time it's dosed. Can I dose more CAL to raise it, leaving the ALK dose the same?

Yes you can do corrections by adding more calcium
It is not a set in stone "rule" to dose equal amounts

What is your calcium currently?

350

Thank you

That may be reflective of your salt mix, but adding more of the calcium part of the two part, or just calcium chloride for a correction is fine.

Add CA only for a correction... correct? or can I start to dose unequal parts? More CA than ALK each day...

You can do it either way.
