OK,
So here is what the Mg test revealed. 1400.
I checked my Ca today and it was 420.
After reviewing the threads, i noticed the section about REALLY shaking the purple up, so I did and I noticed it was thicker. After three doses of this, my Ca went to 420 and the Alk stayed at 2.5, PH 8.6, Dkh, 8 and 1.022
So, I am thinking the Purpleup was user error on my part. Still doesnt explain the failed attempts at the B-Ionic product. The LFS guy said that the B-Ionic could have been because at the time my numbers were out of whack and it couldnt compensate.
Once my PurpleUp bottle is gone, I may try a few doses of the B-Ionic again to see if I can get stable results.
I may be off and running for this issue anyway...
