set mg at 1350, alk at 8.3, cal at 420 by hand-dosing these elements separately, one at a time, in that order, by directions, day by day until each is achieved. I use Kent products, myself. This locks the relationship at those readings until the mg runs down past 1200. If your alk is ok, don't worry about the ph unless you have special reason..
