Running alk at NSW level

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

Ok, thanks, perhaps that explains why mine has settled in at 7 but I'm sure my dosing is helping it maintain that level also.

But other things might affect the alk level also right such as magnesium or PH or salinity?

Those things can effect demand, yes.

So kind of strange, I have increased my daily alk dose from 18ml to 24ml. I do 2 part bionic. My alk number has remained consistent at 7. Has not gone up or down. Checked 4 times now on different days at the same time each day. Shouldn't I be seeing a slight increase? I'm trying to nudge it to 7.5 and even adding 6 more ml per day does not move it.

Does 24ml seem like a normal amount of alk dose on a heavily stocked 80g system. I increased cal to 24ml also to match alk but will test that in the morning. It was 420 last time checked 3 weeks back
