I don't think I agree with them getting depleted at the same ratio... Rather I believe that I tailor each of the 2-parts individually. Meaning if I need xxml of Ca each day, Alk will have a different daily need. So even though it's a 2-part whatever, its 2 seperate things that get tweaked individually.

So like I said, I'm currently doing 70ml/day of Alk and it's not going up. If I test in the hours immediately following the dose, it is higher by 1.5dKh, reading at around 8.5 or so. But I'll bet you a frag tomorrow before I dose again it's down to 7 again.

If it keeps coming back down, there's no way I'll ever get it up to 'target' levels, irregardless of whether or not I'm able to maintain it if it ever did get there. I'm sure not going to go dump 200ml of alk into the tank in an attempt to get it up there. So, I really have no idea what to do.
