so I have been using Triton other methods for a week now. I have my Alk stable at 8.0 my mag at 1380 but my Ca won't budge from 400. Do I wait longer, up dosage on bottle 2 Ca or dose Ca itself?

I have 2 kits that agree as well as I ran my first triton test and those results were close to my kit, just a bit lower than my kits read.

I will say with previous 2 parts it was a struggle to keep Ca up but usually around 420-430

Ok then in that case you should dose additional Ca on top of the Core7, do not increase the dose of number 2 as it also contains other trace elements along with Calcium.
If you are using Triton's liquid Calcium supplement then use the dosage instructions that came with your ICP analysis.
