Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have stopped checking CA and MG weekly all together. To be honest, chronologically speaking, I very much doubt I would ever test for CA or MG provided a problem didn’t exist. I use a CARX and I do ICPs monthly. I think it’s it is kind of crazy where we are, I am saying that as I laugh. That, parameter wise, the only thing I am paying attention to is dKH.

 
Yup, set it and forget it (once it is tuned).

Check the dkh, as needed and keep a sharp eye on the situation in the tank because pumps, heaters, lights, valves, reservoirs can always step in to create drama in the system.

I do not use a CARX.

But I generally only check for dKH, N and P, the latter only because I tend to get to zero N, and 1+ P, so I actively have to manage both of those.
Interesting. Same here. But, I can’t see me do this any other way once the tank has settled in. CARX/Kalk, and my use of Kalk is about as unscientific as it goes.
