Hey guys! I have a 50g lagoon and I just setup my Neptune Trident for ease of testing. My first test results came in and told me my Alk=6.02dkh Cal=410ppm and Mag=1296. First off, should I take this test result with a grain of salt considering it was test #1 right after calibration? Secondly, if this is a viable result how should I raise DKH with calcium in mind? I have Red Sea ALK buffer but if i raise DKH by 2 (not all at once) wouldn’t that have an inverse affect on calcium? If so, how much? I have been dosing 80ml of 1/2tsp/gallon BRS kalkwasser daily and obviously that is not enough to keep up with Alk but is enough for calcium, which I thought was strange because I thought kalk provided both proportionally. After getting the levels right should I increase saturation and maybe volume of doses? Sorry for all the questions at once but any help would be greatly appreciated!
