The rate of Calcium and ALK consumption in my tank has come to a point where it can no longer be sustained at proper levels through water changes alone.
I've been dosing Red Sea Foundation B along with Kalkwasser to get those numbers up.
Ca= 300
KH= 8.2
pH= 8.2
I'm dosing Foundation B, 25ml daily to maintain ALK of 8.2. But my Ca sits in the 300-350 range, no matter how much Kalkwasser I add over a 24 hour period. I've tried doubling the quantity of Kalkwasser powder per gallon when preparing a mix, but the Ca level holds steady.
I feel there is another parameter off which has caused Ca to hit this ceiling.
Guidance is appreciated.
