Thanks for the podcast. I guess I've listened to about 12 shows now. I have a 1.5 hour commute, so I'll catch up soon. Please forgive me if you've answered this in a future show.
This question ultimately regards dosing
Kalk
I have a 36g display with a
fuge running about 12g. Historically, my
Ca has run about 400 without supplementation and my
alk has been in the meium range. Recently I bought a
alk test kit and my
alk now about 11kdh. Over the last month, my
Ph was changing too much and I buffered and now it is more steady in the range of 8.0 to 8.3 - usually 8.2. Of course, now my
Ca is down to 275. Joy joy joy.
If I understood your show correctly, I shouldn't dose
Kalk until I get the
Ca in line where I want it - 400 to 450.
What is the best method to get the
Ca up in this range before I begin dosing
Kalk?
