So I just started trying to solve my magnesium issue and I’ve been boosting my alk trying to move my alk up to 8DKH. Tank has been doing good all this past week and I finally got it to 8 over a 4 day period. Dosing 10ml every hous one the hour 14 times a day. My calcium has been pretty high at 460-480 and hasn’t moved from there. I started adding mag to get it from 1140 up th 1300. I dosed it Thursday 14.5 oz because the calculator said I need 45ish oz. the alk started to fall of when I dosed it the first time with mag so I upped the dose to 15ml on the hour but it’s still dropping off since I added the second dose of mag. I’m assuming that I’m simply not adding enough alk to keep up because maybe my uptake has increased? There isn’t any visible precipitation anywhere. Not sure what is going on since I’ve never seen any precipitation and there is no crystalline formations. In theory I should have precipitation since my mag has always been low right? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
