OK I have switched to lime water and have some questions:
1) I mixed the lime water at saturation (two teaspoons per gallon) and my Ca has increased from 400 to 405 and the alk has increased from 8.0 to 9.2 over the last two days. So my question is how much Mrs Wages should I use per gallon to maintain the current levels?
2) I need to increase my calcium a little (420 to 430), so I planned to get the readings stable with lime water first, then add additional CA via the dow flake that I have left to get into the target range on the CA. Is this a good plan?
3) I wanted to start boosting my salt mix with calcium and Mg. I plan to use the anhydrous calcium choride. How much of this should I plan on using in a 44 gallon mix?
4) Also how much mag flake should I add to each 44 galon batch?
