Up until now I've been able to maintain my ALK level with regular water changes every two weeks. I first noticed a change in ALK after my last change a little over two weeks ago. Three days ago I made another water change. The ALK is 7.28. Prior to the last two water changes, a water change every two weeks was holding my tank steady in the 9 dkh range. Obviously that's no longer getting the job done.

I have two BRS dosing pumps for ALK and CAL ready to go with the reservoir and the Neptune system. Now what do I do to get this tank steady? Heck, I've even got the mix of soda ash already to go and on the shelf thinking I was going to need it before now.

I'm shooting for 9 dkh. The tank seems to be averaging 7.3. What now? I'd like to make it automatic and begin using my system to handle it. Just looking for some guidance from those that have been there done that. This part is new. I'm zapping this thread out tonight and plan to begin reading a lot on it tomorrow.
