Hi guys. My tank alkalinity level decreases everyday so i started dosing but calcium stays almost same with very little decrease. Even thats the case, should i begin with 2 part dosing or just alkalinity?
My current alk is 7.15, calcium 452, mag 1403 and ph 8.25 with many lps and sps frags
Thanx in advance !!

2 part. Calcium and alk are used together, perhaps not exactly equal, but close. Start 2 part with equal amounts.
Measure alk after a few days and adjust up or down, depending on your target dkh.

I just put x amount of grams in my ato tank , need to calculate the dosage first , go a bit lower as you can adjust up or you’ll have to dilute with ro if it’s too much
