    I'm going to buy another test kit this week. And tropic Marin's "original balling" 1st part is a calcium chloride dihydrate, 2nd is a sodium bicarbonate, and 3rd part is a sodium chloride free "sea salt" it's hard to find much info on it cuz most of the stuff online is in German.

    I also dose Kalk through my ATO, it is my understanding that this can lower magnesium in the long run. I use brightwell aquatics kalk+2 which CLAIMS to have strontium and magnesium added however according to randy Farley the magnesium and strontium are not chemically balanced and settle out of solution immediately.
