Just tested my water any time i try to add bionic it starts to snow in my tank unless i just add the calcium portion. my alk is always up there. Is there any way I can get this balanced out where I can add an equal amount of part 1 and 2??
10 dkh or 3.57
420 cal
what do yall think.

Those results are where many wish they were! How often are you dosing? It should only be a couple times a week depending on whats in your tank....

You need to test calcium and alk daily until you get a feel for where the levels are going to go. I had to do that in my 20 for the past couple of weeks because my alk and calcium were being used up REALLY quick....

I test my cal and alk twice a day right now. I add bionic whenever needed normally every other day or so. I have yet had to add alkalinity buffer but like twice it stays high so I just add the calcium part. I read that you are no supposed to do that because it will mess up your balance, but I have been staying pretty straight with my readings by doing so...
