Update:
After my water change, magnesium came back to around 1400, so I left that be. I bought a jebao dp4 dosing pump from aquapros and began dosing Randy's recipe 1. I set it up to dose 120 ml each split into 5 times throughout the day. After a day or two of that, I tested my alk and it was 7.5. Not falling fast but still falling since the post water change measurement.
I upped the dose to 150 ml each per day. Today, my alk is back to 6 again! So I've upped the dose to 200 ml per day to see if that helps.
I have the doses fed into the sump right in front of a power head. The liquids mix in and dissolve into the sump water immediately, but I have just noticed that I'm getting precipitation on my heater in the sump.
Doesn't 200 ml of these solutions per day seem like a lot for a 75 gallon?
