My alk was 8.29, 9 days later it reduced to 8.06. I calculated I was losing 0.03dkh/day. Using the brs calculator it said to add 2.5 ml. This would increase my dosing to 7.5.

My problem I have is that my ca over the last 9 days increased from 466 to 487. My ph has been averaging 8.15

Am I in a position where I need to start changing how much I dose ca and alk at different rates. If so how much should I reduce my ca rate too.
Thanks

How did you measure such exact numbers. Like. .06 and .29?
