I dose ca/alk through a ca reactor and kalk reactor so that is done all the time. The Ca reactor is on 24/7 and all top off water goes through the kalk reactor. Mg is only added to water change water. I do that once a week.
thanks I understand that--but in my situation where I have to dose by hand--would the water parameters be stable for weekly testing or should it be done everyother day etc?
