Sorry to hear about this trouble. Messing with parameters will do this. You should be testing daily when setting up a new doser. You should also test, add a measured amount of dry suppliment, wait an hour, test again. Do this for calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and potassium (if you dose it). This way you know how much a tbsp (or what have you) will raise each parameter. Then when figuring out your doser you can test, add supplements to bump it up to where it should be, test again to check. Bump the doser up a smidge depending how much supplement you had to add. Test again tomorrow. After awhile you will be testing, dosing, and adjusting the parameters every 2 days, then 4 days, then once a week. Some months down the road you might be able to test once every 2-4 weeks. Test LOTS, and try to keep things stable.
