Randy-Holms 2 1/2 part.

* 1 part Alk (baking soda), dosed via dosing pump at 12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm; 33ml per dosing.

* 1 part Calcium, dosed via dosing pump at 3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm; 50ml per dosing.

* Magnesium once in a blue moon.

Parameters hold steady with very little fluctuation:

Alk @ 8 dkH
Calc @ 420ppm
Mag @ 1400.
------------------------
Baking soda (Arm and Hammer) from Sobey's. Calcium and Magnesium from Chemmaster/Littlesilvermax in bulk.
------------------------

Pretty much idiot proof. Kind of set and forget. Just have to remember to refill the reservoirs of Alk and Calc (2 liter coke bottles), when they empty.
