    Wondering if anyone can help me make sense of this. My 39 gallon system consumes about 5.74 dKh/week and only 3-4 ppm of calcium (so within the margin or error my Hannah checker). I’ve never had this issue until about a month ago when my weekly testing was showing my Ca was getting much higher...

How can I get my Calc and Mag levels back lower when I’m dosing equal parts of the 3 solutions (52ml/day)? I also use...
