    Hello there, Thanks for the kind words.. I appreciate that.. Yes, I have been watching my Alkalinity. It is NOT that high, but needs to come down from 12 to about 10. Not that severe an issue. I am more concerned with my magnesium at 920. We will see what it is tomorrow after a water change...

If they are correct continue to use part a until you get to 10-11 and then check your Mg and Ca again. Once they are where they should be...
