What are your calcium requiring inhabitants? Test every day on both to see what your daily alk and ca demands are. I would bet you don't know what your mag is testing at. Chances are it is way low, if under 1250, then it will be hard to maintain a consistent balance between CA and ALK. If you are not testing Mag, I would start. It is just as important as testing the other 2...... JMO....Good luck.....
