320ml of each / day on 250g SPS system.

No wonder my ALK has been so hard to maintain, I started my dosing @ 20ml a day CA/ALK and just bumped it up to 50ml/ day for my total system of 350g.

Oddly my calcium levels are stable (Most likely due to my water changes over anything) @ 440 ppm. I thought the draw of CA/ ALK was very similar but my
ALK tends to drop much faster anyone know a reason for this? The system is fairly heavy stocked, I will double to 100ml/day tonight and then increase it after that accordingly.

I just cut mine back to 9 ml per hour. I was a touch on the high side.
