That would be the lack of precision in most tests (and testers;))

Try it again in a week and see what you come up with.

Also keep in mind , alk cal and mag are used evenly. I can post articles on that fact.

So , if you are not dosing any of them, most differences or uneven uses (depletion) you see on your tests are almost 100% to be test inaccuracy.

If you see no drop next week (test twice ) then get the test verified at a lfs while you look at the frag rack.

You might want to go a week after that to verify the drop.

Anyone have experience dosing weekly vs dosing these daily?? I don’t want to screw anything up, but dosing daily sucks :). I have a doser dosing cal, alk and mag. Just wondering if I can dose the coral colors weekly? Or do I get another dosing pump?

You can dose weekly. You just dose depending on your calcium. I have the time so I dose daily, but when I go out of town I dose the amount that would be used over the days away. No problems at all. In the beginning I dosed weekly, I have time so I switched it to daily, and made it part of my routine.
