Been reading and searching but can't seem to find a graph. If there is one..

The articles I've been reading talk about balancing your Calc and Alk. I was just wondering if there was a graph for desired levels. Or is it as long as your within the desired targets your good? For example I tested my water tonight.

My reading were
Cal = 465ppm
Alk = 6.4dKh
MAG = 1500ppm
Sal = 1.025

I know my Alk is a little low and the target should be between 7-11 dKh. But with my Calc being at 465ppm what should my target for ALK be?

So I'm wondering if there is a graph with all the different targets on them.
