Alk is measured in DKH or meq/l. if you want to convert meq/l to dkh multiply by 2.8 as for the increase in alk you can use baking soda(very small amount) to raise the alk but eventually you will have to get a two part calcium additive like esv b-ionic or you will have to get a calcium reactor. Joe

> Your alk. is too low raise it to 3.2 minimum. Alk and Cal work opposite of each other, alk low = high cal., high alk=low cal. your medium is 3.2 minimum Good Luck Joe
