I'm glad to see that's it's coming down. You may want to lower the dose tho to slow it down a little. .2 in two days seems a little fast I'm my opinion.

.37 tonight, still slowly declining. Yay.

Phosphates .29 on 8/14.

Alk is also dropping, which after searching apparently is expected.

I think my question now is what should I likely be dosing for maintenance... I'll go search around and see what I find

down to .23, so I halved the dose at this point, and I suspect it will go down more when I vacuum the sandbed tomorrow.
