I switched to brs 2 part a week ago. I took my readings and used the calculator and got my levels right. By right I mean calcium at 420 Alkalinity at 9 and magnesium at 1420. Since then every 2 days I test and the only thing that changes is my alkalinity it drops to 7 every other day but nothing else does. I've used an api test and salifert test same result. Even did a 30 gallon water change still same. Any clue wtf???

I had a tank that ate DKH ..I ended being convinced it was the rock I had as my other tank with different rock did not even compare monthly to the ones weekly consumption.
It stayed consistent for years .I started moving my target up to 11 so the drop would not be so low if I missed mid week.
