Morning,

So I have been dosing two part for over a few years now but I always run into precipitation at some point. My same issue seems to be I cant keep the dosing amount the same for Alk and Cal like people say you should. Example: 50ml of both per day.

I generally have to dose 70-80ml of alk and only 30-40 of Calcium. So I seem to always run into Precipitation issues every few months.... Any recommendations?
 
I don't dose equal parts of alk and ca. My alk is always higher like yours. I don't have precipitation. How close are the alk and ca dosing to each other?
 
Same here as fishface. I always dose more alk than ca but I don't get precipitation. I dont know if it matters but I dose manually. I pour alk in with the flow to the filter sock and ca into the flow from the return. I pour both back to back with no interval. I do this on 3 tanks.
