I'm currently using ESV B-Ionic 2 Parts in my 17g.

I dose 5 ml of Part 1 (alk) once a day. Then I dose Part 2 (Cal) twice a day. Once in the morning and another at night.

PH 8.3-8.4
Mag 1400
Alk is 9
Calcium 350

Can I up my Part 2 another 5 ml to increase my Calcium?

I know your looking for Randy's response, but I'd suggest keeping both parts equal and using the alk to determine dosage. Many of these multiple part products are made to work with eachother and balance eachother out. I would adjust ca using straight calcium chloride, then keep it all in line using equal parts of the 2 part.
