adding 2 part ca and alk

ctrulock · 09/27/2006, 08:06 PM

I add ocean blend's 2 part ca and alk supplement. I finally got an alk test kit. My ca was 450 (good) but my alk was 7.7 dkh (low i believe). Can you add just the alk part of the 2 part supplements to raise alk quicker? Thanks.

Get your alk up to around 10dkh. Then resume daily two part dosing.
