can't maintain alk, mg, and ca

since my tnak crash things have been getting better, there a few SPS hanging on, all the LPS and softies made it..well most of the xenia was lost but some of the nubs are growing polyps and the clams are unphased

HERE IS MY PROBLEM, I can not seem to keep my levels up

I am adding ~1.5 gallons of saturated lime water /day

35 grams soda ash 2x/week

50 grams calcium chloride 3x/week

350 grams epsom's 1x/week

I have been doing this for 12 days and the levels stay around

8 dkh
380 ppm ca
1270 ppm Mg


what the heck is going on?
