Thanks Kirk! Yeah everything is doing great! I do have a question for u though. Now that I've added Kalk to my ato reservoir. My ph is always swinging. It would always have a gradual swing from day to night. Should I be concerned? Here is what the graph shows: Image that was when the probe was in the sump. Now that I have the probe in the display it's less erratic Image

Today's alk is 3.48 meq/l and cal is 430 ppm. Currently dosing 2ml/hr cal and 1ml/hr alk. Kalk in ato. I'm unsure of the evaporation rate.

I just raised the cal Doser to 3ml/hr from 2ml/hr. I kept the alk Doser at 1ml/hr. I'm hoping to bring the cal up to 450 and drop the alk down to 3.4.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm currently dosing 1ml/hr. Maybe do 1 ml /2hr?
