I have been struggling to get my alk to 8 but my calcium to 420 without dosing the solutions differently. Is it that I cannot do that and if I have like 8 dkh the calcium will be around 370 or is it possible?

I would retest. Alk and cal should drop relative to each other unless you are dosing on and not the other.I'm planning on dosing Kalkwasser soon. My dKH was very low (4.0), so I'm slowly raising it, and once I get to about 8.5 or 9.0, I'll measure my calcium. It's really high right now (490), so when my Alk is 9 and calcium is at least 450, I'll start mixing Kalkwasser in my ATO water. Hoping that's my solution to steady Alkalinity and Calcium.

Kalk will increase both.

No that is not me. I use BRS two part but cannot seem to get the levels to stale like they used too. SO that just made me wonder this question. I am at around 9dkh and about 390ish calcium.
