My Tank Thread
As I stated - Standard balling V bolus method dosing.
You can see it in the graph I posted.
I swapped from normal all day balling dosing to bolus and the pH gradually went up.
Also, I’ve just looked at the alk graphs. After dosing the bolus, the Alk does not shoot up. Only the pH does…..
Don’t ask me why. It’s just what the apex shows. But I was testing at 12pm and 8 pm.
I don’t believe a gradual effect can be attributed to this change. Almost no pH effects build day after day.
Alk will shoot up instantly, if the product is bicarbonate, no matter what you observed, but testing before and after dosing is the only way to test that.
