    Mg now up to 1340. Ca still at 400. Probably time to dose a little 2-part.

    Don't dose both at the same time. Dose Ca until it gets to where you want it, then dose Alk. If you dose at the same time, much of it will form carbonates and reduce it's effectivness. Also keep in mind that when you dose Ca or alk, the other will fall a little respectively.
