hi everyone,

My dosing pump was not dosing the 3b part for a week. I’m wondering if I can add the missing 3b part slowly to increase my alk back to usual? Thank you!

@Tim@Triton

Current alk is 7.0
Alk before dosing pump malfunction is 8.2

If you Alk has only dropped to 7 then there is no panic, you can just restore 3b and continue dosing as normal. You can increase the dose of 3b slightly so it equals out over a few weeks if you want to but running at 7 is perfectly acceptable.

Thank you! I was just wondering if there is a lot of trace element that I missed because the 3b was not dosing.
