My readings/dosings for the last 3 days have been: Day 1 Ca: 415/Alk 8.6 dKH TODAY I DOSE 5ml of each to maintain values Day 2 Ca: 425/Alk 9.0 dKH NO DOSING THIS DAY Day 3 Ca: 420/ Alk 8.6 dkH TODAY I DOSE 5ml of each to maintain values The key here is to test every day, which you say you are doing. So just keep a log of results so you can make good decisions on when to dose. -Chris
