Hi all,

I've seen varying opinions on this, and I'm getting confused. Right now my tank holds steady about 8.1dkH and 400ppm Ca. I am dosing Seachem fusion 2 part, but I'm dosing 2.2mL Ca | 5mL Alk per day. I am reading that I should be dosing them in equal parts. How does this work? If I start dosing Ca at 5mL / day, wouldn't my Ca shoot through the roof? Or is it that when I increase my Ca to 5mL / day, the Alk will also rise? So I will need to lower both (for example to 4mL / day)?

im also debating switching to AFR, and using my other hose for NoPox. I’m scared to switch though because my setup is working now, and I don’t want to mess it up.

Ok, that volume makes the explantation easy.

5 mL of the calcium part is only boosting calcium by 1 ppm per day. 2.2 is less than half that.

It would take a very long time of dosing to detect a difference by calcium kit.

I’d just do equal parts dosing based on alk, but if not, nothing will go wrong.
