Numbers look good to me, but everyone has their preferences on what they like to keep theirs at. Calcium is a little on high side but just barely. You could probably leave it there and not see any negative effects.

Thanks for the feedback. I was questioning the Ca also. I thought when I raise the Alk I was suppose to raise the calcium in unison. But a few days ago I stop raising Ca and continued the Alk. I wanted to get my Alk to at least 9 so I think I'll leave things be for now.

Yes true, 2 part normally is dosed equally, but there are other factors involved. Sometimes you might already have a higher starting value for calcium or alk, so one needs to be adjusted till you get the number you want. Also there is the factor that your 2 parts aren't at the same ratio depending on where you get your 2 part additives from.

Or that the dosers arent as accurate as they claim to be. The guy above me expressed this to me when he started counting drops per minute. Crazy, I tell ya!

But anyway, focus on the ppm, not the time or concentration of dosing.
