Main question:
Is balanced Ca and alk dosing 8.45 ppm Ca for every 1 dkh?
More details:
I made a solution of 50g/L Brightwell Alkalin8.3P and a solution of 100g/L Brightwell CalcionP.
According to the instructions:
Each g of Alkalin8.3-P will increase the alkalinity in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by 12 dKH.
Each g of Calcion-P will increase the [Ca2+] in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by 95 ppm.
So let's say I want to dose 0.15 dkh of Alkalin8.3P per day for a 200 gallon system. According to their formula (volume x desired dkh raise x 0.089) that's 2.67 grams per day (53.5 ml of my 50g/L soln.).
If I also dose 2.67 grams per day Calcion (26.7 ml of my 100g/L soln.) that's 1.26 ppm calcium.
Thats a ratio of 8.45 ppm Ca for every 1 dkh if you dose an equal weight of powder. Is that the proper ratio?
