I'm trying to get my Ca and Alk in balance before setting up a doser. I have been bringing it up about .5 dKh per day. Its now at a level I am happy with (8.8 - tank uses anywhere from .5 to 1 dkh daily).
I mixed up some water yesterday to do a water change and tested it this AM just out of curiosity and its at 6.5. Fritz says it should be 8-9. Couple of questions:
1. Has anybody else found this salt to be on the low side alk wise?
2. Should I bring the alk of the new water up before the change, or dose the entire tank after?
3. Should I switch to the Red Box salt?
