@Dkeller_nc... OK, great answer, and while mine is only 300 gallons I feel like I am going thru a gallon ALK and Cal every 2 weeks. Switching would at least eliminate some of this except for adjustments, plus the added benefit of whatever beneficial trace elements are added. What has me fired up about that is the strontium deficit showing on the ATI test above. Would using the reactor have prevented that, or not? I bought a strontium supplement and I am testing every two days and dozing a small amount at a time, slowing bringing it back to sea water specs.
At the same time, I have looked at C-Balance in comparison to what I have been dosing. It contains a whole lot more, including strontium plus others that could also resolve my issues, but unless it's a whole lot more concentrated than what I am using, it could get a lot more expensive too.
I just got an alert on my phone like 10 minutes ago telling me my ALK container was down to 10% and Cal will follow shortly (since I did shut it off for a few days). My tanks ALK dosing is back up and stable on the KH Director, see graph below. (the issue to the left was a bad bottle of reagent) I am stable, within about +/- .2 of 8.5 and this time when I turned the calcium on, I tied it to the second control of the Director so that if it doses a percentage less or more to adjust dKH it also adjusts the cal dosing the same percentage. We'll see how that goes.
