trident daily ALK,CA,MG consumption question

[ddc0715]

here is my results after 1 week in my hunt for stability. I want to ensure I'm deciphering this info correctly, thanks in advance for any guidance.

TRIDENT MG not currently dosing
DAY1 1331-1323 = 8 ml consumed
DAY 2 1323-1321 = 2 ml
Day 3 1321-1316 = 5 ml
Day 4 1316-1305 = 11 ml
Day 5 1305 – 1303 = 2ml
Day 6 1302-1302 = 0 ml
Day 7 1302-1290 = 12 ml
Total of 5.7 mls consumed daily?

TRIDENT ALK started at 50 ml spread over 24hrs, a target of 8.9 with a range of .20
DAY1 8.59 - 8.53 = .06 ml consumed
DAY 2 8.53 - 8.33 = .2 ml (increased dos amount to 60 ml)
Day 3 8.33 - 8.77 = 0 ml
Day 4 8.77 - 8.71 = .06 ml
Day 5 8.71 – 8.73 = 0 ml
Day 6 8.73 - 8.78 = 0 ml
Day 7 8.78 - 9.0 = 0 ml
The total consumed daily is more than 50 ml but less than 60 ml?

TRIDENT CA started at 40 ml spread over 24hrs target of 480 with a range of 50
DAY1 499 - 499 = 0 ml consumed
DAY 2 499 - 516 = 2 ml (increased dos amount to 50 ml)
Day 3 516 - 499 = 17 ml
Day 4 499 - 504 = 0 ml
Day 5 504 – 514 = 0 ml
Day 6 514 – 487 = 27 ml
Day 7 487 – 516 = 0 ml
Total consumed daily is more than 40ml but less than 50ml?

The concentration in your dosing liquid is likely much higher than in the tank water being tested. Trident numbers are concentrations (ppm or mg/l for Ca and Mg and dKh for Alk).
