Mike the reason is tha I am stil using the Kal stirrer and my ALk s sitting at 11.3DKH with a drip every sec so my evaporation rate isn't alot. Now I know that using Kalk it will cause the Magesium to go down so there is a reason for may be just dosing Magnesium , but looking at the MAG im not going thur alot if the either.

Your ALK is WAY too high

ALK 7-8DKH
MG 1280-1350
Ca 380-430

Just to let you know we are in the process of developing our own balling salt in conjunction with a renowned company. We expect to have the product finalised later this year.
