KH to low, CA to high
I have been using oceans blend two part system since the beginning. I used to add 1 cap of each per day and it would keep my tank at 2.7 alk and 425 calcium like clock work. They increased the strength in the stuff and it has thrown me off for a year now, I just test once/twice a week and add if needed. Currently my Calcium is at about 450 but my alk is about 2.17. Obviously if I add then my calcium will jump as well which I dont want. Suggestions/tips? Thanks! I only use RO/DI water btw

The articles above are good reference, but you can solve this issue by simply adding only the alkalinity portion of the 2 part solution for a few days until your Alkalinity comes back up to where you want it, then switch back to adding equal amounts of each.
