Tanks getting to the point where i have to add a buncha stuff, ive already had and removed vodka dosing cause i had a nitrate issue 40+ ppm to no 0.1ppm so need to correct that,
but mainly my calc is at ~290 and ive been doing alk doising to keeep it at roughly 9dkh mag is stitting around 1250

best way to raise that mag and calc, and the alk is just baking soda solution on a drip feed

Calcium chloride is how you would raise your calcium.


Magnesium chloride, and magnesium sulfate for your magnesium needs.


Then use a calculator like this:

To figure out how much to dose to get to your correct levels. I would assume you know what the proper levels should be?

i havent read much into the exacts i need, but if i remember right my cal should be around 450 and mag 1350 right?

I recommend calcium at 400-550 ppm, and magnessum 1250-1400 ppm.
