    Dosing, BK doser and carbon questions

    My target goals are Alk 8.3 / Ca 420 and Mg 1350. I just set up the doser and have been establishing a thought as to what my tanks demands are based on weekly comparisons. My dosing plan is for the BK doser to maintain my levels. So at dK 7, I am short of my intended maintenance goals...
