If your level of Calcium is very low what you should do is get some Kent Turbo Calcium and use that to raise your calcium until you get it into the 400+ range. Once there you can then start to use to 2 parts evenly.

If your Calcium is slightly low, 350, then you can use more of B-Ionic Calcium part to raise the level.

It really comes down to money as if you calcium level is very low you'll need alot of B-Ionic to raise it to the correct level. Kent turbo Calcium is cheapier and you'll need less.

Your Alk isn't down that low so all you need to do is add more B-ionic part 1 until you raise the Alk level. Once there go back to even on both parts.

This is a good web site on Alk-Cal
