i been dosing ESV 2 part . for awhile ever since my cal and alk drop ed due to not dosing and not doing big water changes ....



now my parm's are :

Temp: 79.1

S/g: 1.025

Amonina: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: 0

Alk: 3 meq/l or 8.2 DKH

Cal: 420 ppm


My alk got down to between 2 to 2.5 meq/l or 5.6 to 7 DKH

and

Cal got down to 300 ppm


Slowly i been adjust it up with 15 ml a day or two days and now iam at my above Parms . So my question is what now is my cal good now ? what about my alk should i raise it some if so to what ?

Yes, magnesium is important because proper levels will allow you to keep your calcium more easily at your current level which is terrific. magnesium should be around 1300-1380
