Hi.
I switched from 2-part to Kalk in January and since then my Calcium has been above the proper levels. My salt is RedSea blue bucket (Ca - 420-440ppm). For the last month, I've been dosing 30ml of saturated kalkwasser from a stirrer every hour, 720ml a day. Water volume is ~100g. Today I did the tests and my Ca is at 450 while Alk is at 6.4 dKH. From what I read Kalk is supposed to supply Ca and Alk in the right proportions. Why is my Ca growing and Alk decreasing? The pH is usually around 7.8 at night and about 8 during the day.
Should I just dose Alk separately in addition to Kalk? Are there other recipes?
Thank you.
