My calcium and magnesium levels were low, so I started to add CA and Mg as directed (probably even less as directed, just to be on the safe side).

My Ph is 8.2
My Alk jumped 4 to 6.5 meq/l over the course of a week.
SG 1.024

All other parameters are perfect.
Specimens look great

Is this "jump" normal?

Ca and Mg have slighted improved as expected.

Any advice?
 
Is it possible your calcium level was fine and just reading lower because of the low magnesium? However I'm not sure how the Alk would jump up.

What kind of kit are you using and how old is it? Also did you repeat the test just in case of error?
 
Raising your Mg will allow your CA and Alk to reach higher levels at the same time. What were/are your Mg levels and CA levels?
