Nice setup. Try to check yr KH twice a week initially. Also watch the dosing tube for solution 1. It may get clog after a few months. If u notice a drop in KH it maybe be due to clogging in the dosing tube especially for solution 1. Change it when that happen. My earlier experience

Thanks dreamscape. After the system run for a month, the KH dropping a bit and calcium increase very quick. I scare of increasing all solutions will cause the calcium more than 500.

Checked and there is no clogging at the moment.

Should i increase solution 1 dosing? At the moment the dosing is 25ml(5x5) daily for each solution.

What is yr current KH level ? If less than 8 and yr cal is too high, u may want to dose individual triton bicarbonate to raise KH without having to increase solution 1. Iwarna carry the specific element to raise KH. But u will need to raise it slowly. Do note that both cal and mg level will affect KH as well

At the moment, KH is 7.7, Ca is 480 and Mg is more than 1500. trying to decrease dosing and see whether that helps since Ca and Mg already rich to a very high level.
