Hey Tony, yes I do test every two weeks.
Last test and many before have come out as 400mg/l calcium and alk ~8 to 9.
I cant seem to raise the levels any more than this but on the other hand i have not ever used a 2 part buffer. Only single calc and alk, so it always throws the levels out of whack if i start dosing these independintaly.

I am now just dosing kalk and with my sump i go through about 5g in 2 days. I am seeing if in the long term my values will be raised by just dosing kalk. Slow and steady.

I find with IO salt the above values are what i get when i mix it with my ro/di water. Dont know what the salt mix would come out if i mixed with tap water.

Hope my rambling helps.
