Ok been a rough couple of weeks. Alk has been way outta wack, my own doing thru a mis- use of Kalak and alk buffers coupled with not using the correct multiplier to figure dkh. So 150 gallons and two weeks of water changes later I have the parameters squared away.

Ca 400 Will raise this this week.
Ca dropped 50 points after 150 gal changes. This I can't explain Ca was 450 when I noticed the Alk was way off.
Ok so after all the background heres the question. From everything I have read starting to drip kalk now should maintain the correct parameters, correct?
Part two. Raising Ca directly will drop alk?
May seem silly to some but after the headache I have had with this I want to be 100% certain before I change anything today.
Thanks,
Mike
