bodeba...stay with me on this...go to the webpage that I gave you. There, you'd be able to plug in any alkalinity you want along with your calcium level or any other calcium level. The calculator will display for you whether or not the two readings (alkalinity and calcium) together are a balanced and safe combination. Generally speaking, an alkalinity range of 2.5 meq/L to 4 meq/L is recommended. But, for the optimum level with that range, it should be balanced with your calcium level...That's where the webpage that I gave you is so useful...it will make arriving at that balance easier.
