My calcium got away from me a bit, I dose ESV B-Ionic 2 part. Was going to kill my calcium dosing schedule for a couple weeks and only dose alk until it naturally comes back into range in conjunction with weekly water changes. It’s running at 560, and I’d like it back in the 440 range. Maths are telling me this will take roughly 12 days. Wondering if I should dose a different alk product like BRS soda ash while I do this because of the trace elements in ESV and not wanting what’s contained in the alk part to get too high compared to what’s in the calcium part?

Thanks-
 
I’d do nothing differently. That level is not a concern. If you want it lower, just don’t add any for a while. :)
