2 part dosing but not equally

Definitely an AHA! moment. And all these years I've been doing it wrong.

Can I just use 1 1/4C of the BRS chem to keep the right ratio then?

if it makes you feel any better i think ive been making the same mistake for about a year now. Cal ium skyrockets but alk is easy to manage. Wow
 
This might be the greatest thread I have ever read. I got to learn and laugh at the same time. I am positive I would do something exactly like this. Thanks guys, and @Randy Holmes-Farley might the single greatest reason to belong to this forum.
 
Thanks everyone for input I am learning a lot!
 
Same. Good chuckle. Many thanks @Randy Holmes-Farley, I read your DIY recipe and another article you wrote and it really dialed in my understanding between Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate.
