Unhappy Very low alk high cal

Hello:

Well I checked the water in my newest system today and was surprised t see it was out of wack so far. I have 500 Calcium and 4.8 dkh Alk. This is way wrong but I guess I have neglected to test in a while as I have been happily dosing Kalk at night thinking things would remain in balance. How would I saftly raise my Alk to 8 DKH while lowering my Calcium to 400? Beleive it or not I have never had to dose any buffer in any of my systems before. Thanks to Kalkwasser and its ability to keep things stable. I dose Kalk every other night in each tank and then test for Calcium on the weekends. Well today I blew the dust off the other test kits and started testing....WOW what a mistake to not test this regularly. I have no way to test my ph till I get the test kit in the mail. What should I do???

Jay
