I make all the different chems using a a digital scale.

I'm looking into a calcium reactor, that might make this a lit easier to balance out. Probably doesn't help that my doser is a Jebao that gets jammed up every couple months.

Thanks everyone for all the help
I am using a jebao aswell and it never jams up on me, although I make my own mixing measurements and not off the brs website. Roughly 8 tbsp sodium bicarbonate to 2.5 liters of water.

Sodium bicarbonate is awesome to use as alittle amount can bump your alk up, only downside is ph rises quickly too!
