I’ve found a maintainable sweet spot I’d like to keep.
Here are my test results since 2/16. I’ve made small adjustments and I’m happy with where it sits.
My question is if I don’t dose tonight to compensate for loss over night will what I dose tomorrow morning be adequate to maintain what I’m seeing now?

Note: the note of dose 3ml of part 1 and 2 was an estimation and decided against it and went half of it until I tested this afternoon.

Not sure I fully understand the question, but I’ll make a few comments:

1. Alk demand seems higher during the day than at night.

2. Once a day dosing can be fine, especially if the alk demand is not on the high end.

3. Some high pH alk additives are best spread out and can help bring up the nightly pH low.
