Gary thanks for links. I had those 2 jewels bookmarked already from your suggestions awhile ago. The calculator is great and I use it all the time.

But let me see if I can explain what I mean better. If someones Calc is say 500ppm would it be more beneficial to have your Alk at 7dKh or 11dKh? Or is it really just a matter of hitting the desired targets.

My understanding was say my Calc was at 380ppm so I should target my Alk at 7dKh. If my Calc were 485ppm I should target 11dKh? Is that right or is there no real benefits to that?

Maybe as long as someones Alk is between 7 -11 dKH they are fine regardless of the level of their Calc. Does my rambling make any sense? I'm just trying to fully understand this or am I being to neurotic?
