Being a professional, I agree sniperhawk. Amateurs are over rated.
I would concentrate on raising the alkalinity to at least 8. Remember, as we said as one goes up often one goes down. It's a balancing act where I recommend concentrating on
alk first. If Mag is in parameters (which it seems it is) then you will be able to slowly climb both the other values. JMO
