I just tested my levels and my ALK=8.30 CA=500 MAG=1450. I am dosing Kalk every hour. Im not dosing ALK. only MAG and a small amount of CA. ive been trying to up MY ALK too about 9 or 10 but when I up my Kalk my ALK stays the same but causes my CA to go up. that's the reason its at 500. is it because my kalk can no longer keep up with the uptake and I should be dosing ALK with the KALK?
 
Have you thought about trying to up your alk by using a salt mix that’s high in alk. Red Sea black bucket is high alk . The calcium is about the same as their regular salt . Might work over time.
