Upped the kalkwasser stirrer dossage to 110ml/hr, 120ml/hr 11-4pm. Added a little (~20ml?) calcium and a lot of magnesium (~65ml?). Added my essential elements.

The algae scrubber was parially blocked so had very little water flowing through it. All the algae had gone bone white and was probably dead so I scrubbed it all out and am starting afresh. Its super easy to clean. I am thinking I Should use those plastic garden hose clip-fittings to make it easier to take out of the cabinet.

That’s not that bad situation to come home to. Glad everything managed ok.
